Unto Bliss

[Guest guest]

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.
