Living In The Presence of God (VolII/PtII)-Chapter 2

May 3, 2007

CHAPTER 2 Man prays, weeps and promises the Lord of his love for Him - pleads the Almighty to fulfill his wish, and when the Lord, with His Divine compassion, grants him his gift, he heartlessly forgets his vow and becomes intensely involved only in the pleasure of the gift. He, My child, is unable to realize that in the gift lies the reflection of the true Mother of all. Yes! The miracle is not in what you receive - but it is in the 'how it was given'. The contentment must not lie in what the hands receive, but it must be in what one experienced in the process of

receiving. One must find joy in the glorious ways of the Giver. Even the tears, He makes you cry, become the blessing - the true inspiration of the ultimate transformation! Focus, My child, not on what you undergo in life but why you undergo. Remember, O child of truth, that one cannot walk to the Lord with his back toward Him. Yes! Life is divine, only when one is face to face with the divine vision, at all times of his chosen path. Only that one can look into the Lotus eyes that has made purity his only priority. Believe in the absolute - choose the complete truth, for even the slightest speck of dirt makes the experience unpalatable and impure. There is no confusion, when one does not rely on the mind but leans only on the voice of the heart. Thoughts are subjected

to continuous change, hence, to discriminate with its guidance is utter foolishness. What you thought of one yesterday, maybe different today. Remember, the person did not change overnight - it is only the impression that the mind had made that changed. Hence, if you are able to look at only that which is permanent, then you will experience the bliss of constantness. Remember that the true lover of God is related to none. His love cannot feel any difference, hence, he cannot nurture the closeness to any physical form. He worships the oneness - he serves with equality and the divine knowledge that arises from his state of purity becomes the only reality of his every step that he takes in life. The path from looking for God to loving God depends upon your insight, your perseverance, your dedication and your devotion. Experiencing God will not come by following the rigid rules of religion - it

comes to the one that has kept his heart open - mind focused - intellect awake and his conscience in tune with his every way of expression. One can experience the Divine Mother, only when he experiences his very own being to be completely divine. Just like goodness can only be appreciated when one realizes the strength needed to abide by its purity, in the same way, to appreciate God, to understand His supremacy, one must be able to experience his own inner strength that does not deviate, even by the slightest, from the Divine Source. It is difficult to practice, only when one has not understood the importance of the practice. The struggle will come only to the one that simply wants to believe! True belief is immediate practice. Remember, when one only desires to believe, the truth

becomes conditional and relative. Such an attitude is deceptive - it is only one attacking his own self - Yes! The folly of arguing with your own self has made you live a life of fears, coupled with compulsive obsessive behavior. Let the truth enter your heart, My dear. The truth will only impart the feeling of purity. Purity expresses as love. The expression of love will rest the mind, will guide the intellect, and in this blissful harmony, the self will arise from its sleep to awaken you with its glory. When the self is completely risen, such a man sees, hears, speaks, and feels only God! God! God!
