Description: The essence of Christianity and non-dualism are of the same understanding, namely that God is the one ‘ultimate’ reality. Rupert quotes Brother Lawrence from the book ‘The Practise of the Presence of God’ by saying, “I live my life as if only me and God exist.” He also refers to the essence of the Christian tradition being the same as the vedantic tradition, alluding to Vyasa, writer of the Bhagavad Gita, who said, “I have made a critical study of all the scriptures several times and the gist of all that I have found is that one should hold God in one’s heart and in one’s mind at all times and under all circumstances.” This clip was taken from one of Rupert's weekly webinars on December 2, 2021.
