Guest guest Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 A Divine Kingdom is at Stake The saints stress non-attachment so that one strong point of material attachment may not prevent our attaining the entire kingdom of God. Renunciation doesn't mean giving up everything; it means giving up small pleasures for eternal bliss. God talks to you when you are working for Him, and you should speak to Him constantly. Tell Him any thought that comes into your mind. And say to Him, " Lord, reveal Thyself, reveal Thyself. " Don't take silence for an answer. He will first respond by giving you something that you have wanted, showing you that you are in His attention. But don't be content with His gifts. Let Him know that you will never be satisfied until you have Him. Finally, He will give you an answer. In a vision you may see a face of some saintly being, or you may hear a Divine Voice talking to you; and you will know that you are in communication with God. To coax Him to give Himself takes steady, unceasing zeal. Nobody can teach you that zeal. You have to develop that yourself. " You can take a horse to water but you cannot make him drink " . Yet when the horse is thirsty it seeks out water with zeal. So, when you have an immense thirst for the Divine, when you will not give undue importance to anything else -- the tests of the world or the tests of the body -- then He will come. Remember, when your heart-call is intense, when you accept no excuse, then He will come. You must remove from your mind all doubt that God will answer. Most people don't get any response because of their disbelief. If you are absolutely determined that you are going to attain something, nothing can stop you. It is when you give up that you write the verdict against yourself. The man of success does not know the word " impossible " . Faith is the limitless power of God within you. God knows through His consciousness that He created everything; so faith means knowledge and conviction that we are made in the image of God. When we are attuned to His consciousness within us, we can create worlds. Remember, in your will lies the almighty power of God. When a host of difficulties comes and you refuse to give up in spit of them; when your mind becomes " set, " then you will find God responding to you. Contd....
