Fw: Obey the Lord's voice and you will come to no harm at all - Swami

November 27, 2009

Once a person came to Me and argued that there was no God and he was not prepared to believe in one. Well. I asked him, "Have you faith at least in yourself? Which is your self? Your self is God. You have faith in your judgement, your intelligence, your ability, because God within you tells you not to falter or fear. That assurance wells from within, from your basic truth, which is otherwise called God. It does not matter if you do not call it God; it is enough if you believe in Yourself; that is the real test of theism," I told him.

I say the same thing to you also. The body is the temple of God; in every body, God is installed, whether the owner of the body recognises it or not. It is God that inspires you to good acts, that warns you against the bad. Listen to that voice. Obey that voice and you will not come to any harm. A lady wept that her necklace was lost or stolen; she searched everywhere and become inconsolably sad. Then, when she passed across a mirror, she found the lost necklace around her neck. It was there all the time. Similarly, God is there, as the inner dweller whether you know it or not- From Swami's Discourse on 27th February'1961.Om Sai Ram
