Living in the Presence of God (Vol I/Pt I - 25)

[Guest guest]

CHAPTER 25 The

mind must be tamed, the tongue must be controlled, and your actions

must not be dictated by a judgmental mind, nor ruled by the storms of

emotional passionate outbursts. Begin to control thoughts that have

made the illusion your desire, and with strict discipline and practice,

redirect them into thoughts of God. Let the tongue not run wild with

your thoughts. Even if the thoughts are impure continue to stream, the

tongue must maintain its silence. This is the silence of war with your

minds, for the tongue has refused to mimic the behavior of the mind.

Upon silence, the mind, too, will slowly begin to attain its calmness

and will eventually be forced into defeat. Do not be eager to act upon

the judgments made by your fickle minds. Your actions must depict your

strength in character, your promise of virtues, and your love for the

omnipresence of the Almighty Lord. Your actions must accept and

complete all tasks with gratitude to be the chosen one by Him to serve.

Act with promptness to the voice of the conscience that will always

direct you away from the mind, making you experience a sweet pain of

love and sacrifice. It is in this fire of sacrifice, that the "I" will

burn, and then, from within this pit of fire, will emerge the divine

light of purity, the warm fire of eternal love, and the black smoke of

your egos will leave, making their final exit, forever. Be

determined to realize the oneness, and end the suffering of your own

differences. The heart of God will love and accept all, but the love of

the ego accepts only the one, whose reins it can control. The ego will

even desire to control the love of God, and every time it fails, it

will arise and prompt even more evil. It is you that walks away from

God, God Himself, only waits for you to return. The surgeon has to

first give anesthesia to numb the organ inside to perform the surgery.

Only then will he make the incision, expose the area affected, correct

the complication, and then close the incision. I, too, have to perform

your surgeries of transformation. I numb you with the warmth of My love

and acceptance of you. I, then, slowly expose all your weaknesses and

faults; and with the example of My life and with your courage to

change, I correct your imperfections. With this final touch of change,

- I change the "you" to "Me"... the change from "man" to "God". The

payment is made with your faith in My abilities, in your determination

to make this change, in your patience in My procedure, and in your love

to become Me. In a heart transplant, it is the recipient that must be

able to accept and function with the new heart of the donor. I, too,

will give all, even Me to you, but it is you that must accept Me, and

use My love to give you a new life - that lives with no death. Let your

heart become My home, and let My home be your guide and comfort. Let Me

become the security to all your insecurities, and let Me be the

fragrance of your life. Let Me be the vision, when awake or in dreams,

let Me and you be the world, and let all the rest be unseen.- Divine Messages received and recorded by Mrs Seema M Dewan(Copyright reserved by the Author) 'Sai Divine Inspirations' is now on
