"Easter is a very important day, it is the day of resurrection. What does it mean to me? It means to me everything, not just from a religious standpoint, but from the point of view of the evolution of the human race. I'm not attached to any one particular religion. I was trained in religious studies; I got my PhD in religious studies from the University of Pittsburgh, where it is a very strange department. I can go to the medical school and take courses to prove religion is a science. I did. But anyway, I'm not going to talk about that. My position is, I belong to all religions. I embrace all religions, and they are all going to be helpful for us.

Jesus resurrection is very important for all of us, for all of humanity because we are eligible, and we have to own that eligibility, the eligibility to have a deathless body. The resurrected body of Jesus is the deathless body, for which you have to destroy your body and destroy the flesh and blood, which he did on behalf of the human race. Sacrifice is needed.

So, it's a great day for you to stay in meditation and call on Jesus. He is waiting for your call. He’s waiting for your call, so call Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. If you call on him, he will come and give you the blessings of the resurrected body. What is the blessing? The resurrected body is the blessing, and that's why he came here for—to destroy the physical body and show you your real identity. He came here to destroy his body, which is the human body, and to show the real body, which is the light body for the whole of humanity. I'm very happy that I’ve been able to give this teaching for you on this sacred day of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. "— Dr. Pillai
