How You Can Talk With God

[Guest guest]

Do Not Be Satisfied With Less Than the Highest

 

Don't waste time in seeking little things. Naturally it is easier to

get other gifts from God than the supreme gift of Himself. But don't

be satisfied with anything less than the highest. I haven't cared

about the gifts that have come to me from God, except that I see,

behind them, Him who is the Giver. Why are all my desires

materialised? Because I go deep; I go straight to God. In every aspect

of creation I see Him. He is our Father, He is nearer than the

nearest, dearer than the dearest, more real than anybody else. He is

both unknowable and knowable.

 

God is crying for you. He wants you to return to Him. It is your

birthright. You will have to leave this earth someday; it is not an

abiding-place for you. Earth life is only a school in which He has put

us to see how we shall behave here; that is all. Before He will reveal

Himself God wants to know whether we desire earth's tinsel glory or

whether we have acquired enough wisdom to say: " I am through with all

this, Lord. I want to talk with You alone. I know You are all I really

own. You will be with me when everyone else is gone. "

 

Human beings are seeking happiness in marriage, in money, in wine, and

so forth; but such people are puppets of destiny. Once this

realisation is attained, one finds out the true purpose of life and

naturally begins to seek God.

 

We must claim our lost divine heritage. The more unselfish one is, the

more he tries to give happiness to others, the more likely he will be

able to think about God. And the more one thinks of worldly goals and

of human desires, the farther his soul's happiness recedes from him.

We were not put here on earth to grovel in the mud of the senses and

get nipped with sufferings at every turn. That which is of the world

is evil because it suppresses the bliss of the soul. The greatest

happiness comes by immersing the mind in thoughts of God.
