Guest guest Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Thus Spake The Lord Of course, it is hard to effect this full surrender. But if man makes but the slightest effort towards it, the Lord Himself will confer the courage to pursue it to the end. He will walk with him and help him as a friend; He will lead him as a Guide; He will guard him from evil and temptation; He will be his staff and support. He has said, "Swalpamapyasya Dharmasya thrayathe mahatho bhayaath" (This course of action, if followed even to a small extent, will save him from terrifying fear). To follow Dharma is itself a source of joy; it is the path least beset with hurdles. That is the Teaching of the Lord. "Maamevaishyasiyou will come near Me, you will be approaching Me"; that is to say, you will understand My Mystery, you will enter into Me, you will achieve My nature. In these terms, Saadrisya (Acquiring Divine Nature), Saalokya (Existence in God), Sayujya (Unity in God), are indicated. When one has attained the state of realizing the Divinity in every Being, when every instrument of knowledge brings the experience of that Divinity, when it alone is seen, heard, tasted, smelt and touched, man becomes undoubtedly a part of the Body of God and lives in Him and with Him. When this duty to your own progress is taken up you will get a new strength at the very first step; you will thrill to a new and purer joy; you will taste the fullness of Bliss; you will be refreshed by a new holiness.
