Living in the Presence of God (Vol I/Pt I - 13)

[Guest guest]

CHAPTER 13 Your

minds are clouded with all kinds of misconceptions of God and

yourselves. I hear you say, "God will punish", "God will curse him",

"God will be angry", "God is more with him than with me", "The evil

eyes of some are on me", and so many more. Listen to yourselves

intently, and you will find that you have made God the form of your own

egos. Tell me, will a mother punish a child that is already very sick? No!She

will ignore all your faults with a smile, she will be patient with your

carelessness, and with her medicine of love and care, she will one day

bring you back to your feet. You have lost your name, and lost your

mother. This is your own punishment, My sweet, then what can I do to

punish you more? You

blame your doings and your karmas to be My curses upon you. Grow up, My

child, and begin to see where the blame truly lies. A mother will never

curse her own child, however much she may not approve of his ways. A

mother may show that she is angry, only for you to realize the depth of

your wrongdoing. But is she really angry? In the very next moment of

her anger, if something were to happen to you, she would jump to save

and rescue you. Then tell Me, is that her anger, or is she expressing

her simple frustration that it is time for her child to improve and

change for his own good. A

mother will not and cannot love one child more than the other. She will

carry the one that needs her the most. She will feed the one that is

most hungry. She will attend to the one that is the sickest, but her

love for all remains equally sacrificial. It is only your eyes that

hold the conceit and selfishness that will make you jealous of your own

brothers and sisters. The love of the mother is always pure and takes

no sides. You

doubt My ability to protect you, and in the divinity that lies in you

and all around. For how can another's evil eye affect your life, when

in reality, My dears, there is no evil. The envy of others cannot ever

take away from you that which God has blessed you with. Will the mother

allow her one child to cast evil on her other child, and stay quiet?

When you do not even have the powers to stop your own evils entering in

you, then how can you have the power to inflict evil upon another? Your

mind is filled with thoughts that have no logic, yet you search for the

Lord with this intellect and logic, and fail several times. Your

failures are justified with your feelings of supremacy of your own

intellects. With such intellects, minds and impurities, you will never

know God, you will never find God, and a mind, as sick will never

understand God. To

travel from place A to place C, you have to pass through place B. Such,

is also the case in your spiritual travel. Some stops, which you may

think are unnecessary, are in reality, essential for you to complete

your journey. Do not let your impatience to take a direct route, be the

reason for your waste of time, for it will end in simple frustration,

rooting you to place A forever. When traveling in a train, you sit back

and look outside the window, occasionally enjoying the beauty of nature

that passes you by. If you are restless to reach your destination, the

train will not move any faster, for the engine driver has already set

its speed. He has already determined the shortest course, he knows when

it needs fueling and a check, and he is aware of all the stops he must

make to reach the final destination. So why worry, place your complete

faith in Him, and know that once you have paid all your dues, you

become the ticket owner, and your place is reserved with His

confirmation of love, and you will reach the end - the end of you in Me. This

Avatar has come with a mission - A mission in which the change will

occur, He will transform you with His love, to teach you of divine

love. The Lord, Himself, has taken the body, to show you that the body

can crack, but the "self" will not. He has come to fulfill all your

desires, to teach you that you will lack peace, even after all your

material wants are fulfilled. He has come to prove that His name is

enough to numb your mind, the way He lives His life is enough to

trample and uproot your pride; the words of sweetness that He utters is

enough for the stone to melt in your hearts and cry aloud with every

beat, "I want to be You, I will become You! I am You!" Body

consciousness must go! You have come with a body, but the body is not

you! You have come with a mind to destroy, let the mind not destroy

you. You have come with a heart to love, do not begin to love to hate

only. You have come with a mission to seek the truth, do not let the

truth become your fear to fail. Yes, I am the truth, and I have taken

this body to reveal it to you. This is a game of hide and seek, once

you have sought Me, the hiding of the "self" is over. Good times will

end, and times that are bad will also end. The chapter must close each

time, and a new one will open. Do not attach yourselves only to the

good memories, and do not resent your falls and failings. At all times,

you must concentrate to keep your head above the water. Be happy, but

do not be attached to being happy. Attachments to happiness, will one

day, make you face and climb the ladder of disappointments. In times

that are trying, know that the pain is only the result of your own

doings, and realize that the remedy to this pain lies in the strength

of your own divine energies to sustain them. Look beyond the pain, look

beyond the darkness, rise and walk through the tunnel of karma. With

burning repentance and sincere efforts of change, the tunnel will pass,

and you will come upon the light - The pain will be gone, and the

attachments will be no more. It will just be the Me in you and Me.- Divine Messages received and recorded by Mrs Seema M Dewan(Copyright reserved by the Author) 'Sai Divine Inspirations' is
