Love and Love alone....

Unto Bliss

 

Remember -- all worldly objects are perishable and devoid of

happiness. He, who depends on them, and seeks to derive peace and

happiness through them, is bound only to be disappointed and

miserable. It is likely for a limited period, due to ignorance,

worldly objects may appear to one as quite sufficient for the

purpose of happiness and peace; but a day will certainly arrive,

when in the midst of difficulties, they will suddenly leave one in

the lurch.

 

Remember -- God alone is one who is everlasting, changeless, ever-

existent, eternal, the embodiment of all glories, almighty, and the

natural friend of all, depending on whom none will ever get

disappointed, none will ever feel miserable. This faith in God lifts

man up to that supremely high state of divine Mercy, Knowledge,

Power and Love, where exists not even the least trace of any form of

despair, unrest and misery.

 

Remember -- he who possesses faith in God ever remains unaffected by

whatever circumstances he may be faced with in the world; he feels

no pleasure when the objects obtained and the circumstances met with

are what is called 'favourable', nor sorrow when they are what may

be termed 'unfavourable'. The greatest of shocks fail to upset his

equilibrium.

 

Remember -- if after placing your trust in God, you still suffer

from unrest and misery, you may take it for granted that there is

somewhere some defect in your faith itself. Pray to God with

confidence in your heart to remove that defect. Thus you will get

over the defect, and all your misery and unrest will be rooted out.

 

Remember -- after committing an error, if one does not immediately

attempt to rectify the same, the error will stick to him permanently

and become a part and parcel of his character, and producing all

sorts of fresh hindrances, will aggravate the darkness of despair,

misery and distress. Whenever the darkness of despair makes its

appearance, remove it at once with the help of the divine light,

which is auspiciousness itself.

 

Remember -- in the auspicious world of God, there is no place for

either failure or despair. These come to us only when in the place

of God, we begin to place our trust in worldly enjoyments. In that

case, the fetter of our distress and misery fails to break, on the

contrary it becomes all the more strong. Therefore, whenever you

find even the distant glimpse of despair and failure staring at you,

you should understand that you faith has changed its ground towards

enjoyments, hence gathering it from there, join it to God again.

Immediately you will find your heart will be filled p with strength

and energy, and success will appear in front of you, almost within

your grasp.
