Life is the key to open the doors locked by egoism and greed

April 2, 2009

Only when you turn your vision towards God will He turn His vision towards you. Even if God's vision were to turn on you, if you had not, at the same time, turned your's towards Him, you would not have been able to experience His beneficent gaze. Now, all your vision is concentrated on the body. The effulgence of the shining sun may be all around you, but its light will not have entered the room where you are staying. What is the reason for this? You have put curtains and shutters on the windows, and kept the warm rays of the sunlight out. Only when you break open these dark curtains and shutters will the effulgence of the sun enter your apartment. In the same way, you have covered your vision with shutters of doubt and ego and thick body-consciousness, so the rays of grace are not able to penetrate through and enter your heart. You might

say that you have not been able to obtain the grace of God, but how will you get it if you do not turn your gaze on Him? (Life is the key to open the doors locked by egoism and greed)
