Guest guest Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Namaste I have been pondering this statement of Truth from Maa, especially in light of discussion with my 17 year old son and several posts recently regarding suffering. Why are we born? Easy, to have the chance to realize God. Why do we suffer? Because we are not experiencing God. Because we are separated from Him. So, every desire, for example, the desire for happiness, ultimately, is to lead us to God. If we desire happiness, and all of us do, then we really desire God, because, what higher happiness could we experience? If we desire money, and we use it to buy something which brings us happiness, then again, we are searching for God. If we desire love, say, thru a mate, then we are really desiring God, who is LOVE ETERNAL AND COMPLETE. I could go on and on. We all do go on and on. What a world. We are never happy, never content, never satisfied, until we experience God. So, please, let's all help each other remember this vital and most important goal: go for God. If you see me slipping into the shadows, please shine the light to help me see the path. I will do the same for you. And, let's remember to pray for all our family in this universe, all here for the same reason, no matter how they are experiencing and expressing it-they are here for God too.
