CHAPTER 52 Where

does true satisfaction lie? What are the boundaries of satisfaction?

True satisfaction does not definitely lie in the fulfillment of your

worldly desires. The limits to desires are endless, forgoing peace,

contentment, and discrimination, for the more you receive, your desires

will only bind you from reaching out to the territory of God.The

human, today, wakes up each day with the pangs of hunger - not that of

food, but the hunger of greed. The "wants" are taking a turn to

addiction, making them your "needs", and these "desirable needs" have

made you a discontented soul that only aspires to "receive more",

"steal more" and "grab more". Your prayers to Me have become a mere

"wish list", and upon not receiving, you blame Me to be uncharitable

and only partial to your so-called competitors, that have become your

reason of envy. You seem to know what is best for you, especially, when

you see others possess these short-term pleasures. Even if you were to

conquer all the worldly riches, would that make you desire any less?

No! For the one that is richest in this world, has more attachments to

give up, has more ego to destroy, has no rest and no peace, has more

fears of every discomfort he may face, has no friends, has a family

that only expects favors and demands from him, and lastly, but not the

least, he does not know that God cannot be bought and cannot ever be

valued. Let

not "money" become your power, for when this power will fail, one day -

and know that, that one day will come soon, then life to you will be

only humiliation, and all that this power bought you will only become

your weakness, without which, you will not be able to live. Let this

evil of money not become your "time", your "judgment", and your "love";

instead, make love your only judgment and your only way to spend time.

Know that when all in the world in unreal, then all that you conquer

and possess in this world is bound to fade away and is destined to say

its goodbye. Do not live to weep for that moment, but instead, prepare

yourselves to successfully live that moment without the least regret or

sorrow of attachment. All

must go - including you in this life, then why run this race that

starts on "want", and ends to start again on "wanting more"! Desire is

the snake that will spread its venom slowly to the mind, and a poisoned

mind will live its life only in the shadows of death - the death of the

conscience, and one more life, yet lived, without God!- Divine Messages received and recorded by Mrs Seema M Dewan(Copyright reserved by the Author) 'Sai Divine Inspirations' is now on Facebook!Facebook link : http://www.facebook.com/saidivineinspirationsBlog link : http://saidivineinspirations.blogspot.com/
