Guest guest Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Remember the God Welcome all the blows of fate, all the misfortunes and miseries, as gold welcomes the crucible, the hammer and the anvil, in order to get shaped into a jewel, or as the sugarcane welcomes the chopper, the crusher, the boiler, the pan, the sprayer and the dryer, so that its sweetness may be preserved and used as sugar by all. Chosen devotees never demur when disasters fall thick upon them. They will be happy and remember the Lord, and cling to Him. The Lord too, rushes to the help the devotee faster than the devotee can get to Him. If you take one step towards Him, He takes a hundred towards you. He will be more than a mother, foster you from within you and save you. God is the embodiment of love and the ocean of compassion. But you are unable to receive God's love and compassion because you have filled your mind with worldly feelings. If you want to receive something sacred, give up all that is unsacred. If the head is empty, it can be filled with anything. But if the head is already stuffed with worldly desires, how is it possible to fill it with sacred feelings? First and foremost, empty your head of all worldly feelings. Only then can it be filled with divine love. For this, you have to cultivate Prema and Thyaga (Love and Sacrifice). That is true Yoga. He, who is ever ready to sacrifice his comfort for helping another, is a genuine devotee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
