Living in the Presence of God (Vol I/Pt I - 11)

[Guest guest]

CHAPTER 11 Love

can never belong and in love you can never go wrong. When love belongs,

your search for God will "be long". So make God your beloved and "be

loved" by Him forever. Today, your love for God is "benign". It has not

spread to the rest of you. Love must overcome each part of you. Yes,

make this love from "benign" to "be nine!" Give Me, today, all the nine

forms of your devotion, and learn to love God. When the love for the

Lord becomes "boundless", all in the world will be forgotten, and I

promise that you will be "bound less". God is ever ready to bless you

with this loan of love, and believe Me, this loan is the best to own.

There is no interest on this loan - His only interest is you. You can

default as many times in your payment - He will forgive! There is no

time period to pay it off - He will wait patiently, forever. The only

collateral you provide for this loan is your love for Him, and maybe

one day, your acceptance of Him. Tell

Me, will this attitude help you in your change Godward? If one's action

to you is distasteful, then tell Me, is your action of idle gossip and

heartless judgments on this person in any better taste? If you are not

able to help another with his weakness and faults, then you must rise

above your judgment and criticisms to ignore them and accept them. What

right do you have to belittle another when a whole army of faults lies

within you? Remember, the biggest fault of all is to criticize a fault

of another. It is only a coward that will mask his face with a weakness

of another. I

say, turn the spotlight on yourselves, and bare your own faults.

Acceptance of your weaknesses is your first step in extending your hand

towards Me for help. When honesty comes, truth will awaken, and God

will arrive. Believe Me, no one but Me is there with you - today,

tomorrow, and always. You can impress all, but if you have not

impressed Me, you still are living life in untruth and unreality. The

play will end, My dears, your act will be over, the applause will die,

all will disperse, and you will stand in the middle of this stage to

face reality all alone. But if you know it to be a play, you will play

the act according to the director, you will know that the applause lies

for His work and not yours, and you will be ready to go back home,

knowing that you played your part to the best of your ability. Let the

truth be known now, so that I can save you from your biggest fall

later. Let Me see your efforts now, so that I can save you with My

grace later. Prepare yourselves for your end with Me, for, with Me your

end will just begin your eternal life with Me. How

can I explain that it is only My love for you that makes Me speak these

harsh words to you. I want you to face the reality without fears, to

have faith that you all are the little Gods that live today. A mother

must be honest, or the child that is brought up within the walls of

false security and deception, will one day, rebel to face the real

world. My truth may hurt you today, but it is this pain that will

strengthen you tomorrow. My demands of you may be unfair to you today,

but your giving in with your efforts will be only your victory

tomorrow. Do not judge Me and put limitations on our own efforts to

love. Believe Me, the soul can give and never tire, the soul can love

and rise higher, higher than the mind, your senses, and all your

desires. My words may sound empty and monotonous to you today, but when

the truth will flash in front of you one day, these words will be your

breath, these words will be your only bread, and these words will be

your bliss. So today, let Me talk, and you shall listen, and tomorrow

you will act, and I will pray for the spiritual success of each one of

you. Where

duty goes you do what you must and not what you can. The word "can" is

a freeway that lets you walk off easily from all responsibilities. In

duty, nothing must remain incomplete. Your duties in your life must be

your priorities, for when duty stays undone, all other work in the eyes

of the Lord are meaningless. Your sense of duty must be accomplished

with pure selfless love, for that duty takes My form, that duty

completes My tasks, and that duty speaks of your own divinity. The

tests of duty lies in your strength to withstand its monotony, its lack

of gratitude, and the pleasure time it may take away from you. These

tests can be easily passed if duty becomes the God you pray. Yes! Each

one of you work for the Lord everyday, for your are only His instrument

used to complete His duty - the well being, welfare, protection and

love of all.You

stand today amidst confusion, trying to prioritize your duties. Does

your duty lie in family, friends, work, or country? In all lies your

duty, wherever there is God. How do you prioritize this duty? I say,

wherever the need is the highest, there is where you first belong.

Wherever is the love that is closest to God, there is where you first

belong. Wherever your commitment or promise will lay until your last

breath in this body, there is where you first belong. Wherever you will

obey the rules of dharma, there is where you first belong. Where God,

Himself, will have to take your place in your absence to perform your

unfinished duty, then there is where you first belong. want

each one of you to go back in the years of your life and think. Think,

My sweet one, of your life's circumstances at different stages, think

of all the things that have gone wrong. Yes! They went wrong. You felt

pain and then in time, it was healed. Calamities fall, the storms with

their dark clouds threaten, but then the skies clear; the sun comes

out, and its light and warmth awakens the song of love, again, in all

living beings. Think, My dears, why these circumstances? Why the pain?

What heals these pain? Who, My child, has saved you each time and made

you walk again? Your

previous karmas have determined your life in this current body. Thus,

circumstances are predetermined too. The pain you suffer is due to your

lack of understanding of this cycle. You think yourself to be this

body, the body is very fragile, and thus, you break at every point when

you face physical discomforts. The body and mind feel every jolt; the

mind weakens and begins to fear every fall. The fear in the mind will

only cause pain in your hearts, for in fear, the heart feels no love.

With no love, the self begins to die, and you live in this shadow of

death. This is when the mother of this universe will walk in. She

comes, in one of Her forms, to give you the love you have lost. I know,

you say, you have not seen Her, but how can you? Your eyes are as

clouded as your minds and your hearts. Can the mother ever see Her own

child lost? The mother cannot walk for you and she cannot speak your

words. The mother comes to love and teach Her child, but she cannot

live your life. No one can live your life, not even God! The law of

karma must return all your favors. So the Mother, after every fall,

makes you walk again, but then, She too, has to leave to come back to

save you, once again, in another fall on another day!- Divine Messages received and recorded by Mrs Seema M Dewan(Copyright reserved by the Author) 'Sai Divine Inspirations' is now on
