Living In The Presence of God (VolII/PtII)-Chapter 1

[Guest guest]

CHAPTER 1 See the right only - follow it - become the true example, and enrich your lives with the fragrance of the Divine Presence. Do not make God the statue of stone. Know, My child, that even the stone will speak, once one is able to impart the true purpose of life in every part of his worship to the loving, Universal Mother. And what is the true purpose of one's life? Why does one come? Where does one go? What is God? Which are the highest ideals that a perfect man must imbibe? What is truth?

How does truth link with life - how does life link with God? What is real love? What are the limitations of love? Which love is the most supreme? These are a few of the questions that one must continuously reflect upon, just to even begin the walk upon the path of spirituality. Shake yourselves, and churn within the white ocean of purity and let the answers that hod the wisdom of the Supreme Divine presence within you, bring the promise of the vision that sees God as the Master of time! A true interest will develop a keen observation - a keen observation will give birth to true learning - true learning will give one the self confidence - self confidence builds the grounds of faith - faith leads to unconditional love - unconditional love leads to ultimate surrender and surrender is the freedom from thoughts - freedom from all desires - freedom from all selfishness and freedom from all actions that bind

one to the body, mind and time! Hence, one must find true interest in leading the life of the Atma - the Holy Spirit. An inquiry that has no purpose, other than jest, will never give one the vision of the truth. The inquiry must be sincere, the yearning to know and understand the basis of all divinity must be true and only then, will the self arise with loving inspiration to direct one's life into the lap of the Lord! Do not let time control the moment of prayer. Time must not permit God into life - but life is the permit that God grants so that one is able to carry its weight with His Divine glory, alone. Hence, do not ever say that I must make time for prayer. Know, My child, that the true prayer makes time, leads time and fulfills time! Let prayer be the first - the only priority, and time will appear significant before its boundless limitations. The key, to the door of time, lies only in the devoted heart. The one that loves God and lives God will make time changeless, for he makes the hands of his service to the Master much bigger than the hands of time! Remember, always, that the worry of suffering is bigger than the real pain of the suffering, itself. Fear no more, My child, and the strength to face the pain will come. The roots of every fear are selfish. Hence, to overcome fears one must be able to give up and discard the mind's personal interest in nurturing the fear. Know that the dirt can be removed, when one is determined to live and lead the virtuous life, alone. Purity will arise, only when one lives to kill desires, rather than to fulfill them.

Fulfillment of desires is the path of pleasure and pain. Hence, for one never to experience pain, one must also renounce the attachments to pleasures. God is greater than all you can hold in your hands. Hence, open them - empty them from the worldly dirt - clean the stains with the joy of undertaking selfless work - graze them, until one is numb to the pain of the body - harden them - strengthen them with the work of love. Let the hands grow - let them undertake all the work, wherever the Lord is present. Let the work of the entire world become their duty, for the largest hands - the cleanest hands will only receive the largest heart that carries the greatest love. The love of God! Do not give up in finding it, for you have come for it - you have to live for it - you have to die several deaths for it. Realize that in life - love - truth, there is only one reality that is common -

God! For God is love - God is truth - God is life! To make life worthy, one must only reflect it with the truth - one must experience it only with love, for only then, will one experience the power of God!
