The Highest Adventurebecause He not only broke the Sabbath, but also said
that God was His Father, making Himself equal with
God” ( John 5:18). This is a crucial point!
One Way or Many Ways?
My guru also taught that there are many paths
that lead to God, but Jesus claimed that there is
just one way, just one path that leads to eternal
life. In fact, He maintained:
“I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he
will be saved .... ” (John 10:9)
As a yoga teacher, I tried to explain what Jesus
really meant by that statement – that cultivating
His “I AM” consciousness was the door to self-
realization, peace and happiness. In other words,
seekers must develop an enlightened outlook
- the understanding that we are all divine – in
order to enter the same level of spirituality Jesus
occupied. But that’s not what Jesus said. He was
very plain in pointing to Himself personally as
the portal through which everyone must pass
in order to be “saved” (forgiven of sin, delivered
from the lower, sinful nature, and transformed
supernaturally).
