Guest guest Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 All is God, Can be Discovered only by the Grace of God. " When a devotee holds at all times that all men and women are in essence a part of Me, i.e. when he beholds and sees only Me in them, then very quickly he becomes totally free from evils such as jealousy, seeing faults in others, hatred, carping spirit and all other forms of defects resulting from egoism. Therefore a spiritual aspirant should have the feeling of the presence of God in all beings. If sometime he is unable to have this feeling, then mentally he should make an apology for this omission. There is no need to speak or inform anyone about this. We have to serve this world with body, mind and speech regarding the world as the cosmic form of God. Therefore only with the body, mind and speech which belong to God, we must serve only God. Then " All is God " will be realized, since this is not some new creation, rather it has always been there from the beginning. For this, there is no need for education, wealth, strength or austerities etc. Brother and Sister, everyone can do it. Saints have said - " Go on working with your hands, repeatedly chanting God's name and praying, O Lord! Let me never forget You " Let us not consider anyone to be evil. If we consider anyone to be bad, then assume that the vow has been broken. Therefore we should directly or mentally extend our apology and then we should continue to pray " O my Lord, I must not forget, let this spiritual practice be attained by Your grace! " There was a saint, If any point appealed to him during spiritual discourses he would say to God - " Kindly store this precious utterance in your treasure and if I forget it, then kindly remind me of it. " There is no one better as a master, a servant, a friend, than God! If immediately in the middle of something, there is remembrance of God then we should feel very happy, understanding that God Himself is remembering us! He is showering immense grace on us! In this, we should understand that we had forgotten God, but by God reminding us, we are now remembering Him. In this manner, by relying on God's grace, the spiritual practice of " All is God " can be easily attained; because " everything is only God " , this can be realized only by His grace, and not by one's intellect and effort.
