Living in the Presence of God (Vol I/Pt I - 66)

[Guest guest]

CHAPTER 66 It

takes you only a fraction of a moment to be deluded by the false

illusions of the world, but it takes several births and lifetimes to

lift this curtain of falsehood, forever. Your study of God that has

begun today will not result in the immediate fruit of rewards, i.e.,

self-realization. The path will begin, only when peace has completely

walked away from you - when the mind begins to prompt you with the

action that fills you with disgust, and when the heart within aches

with the emptiness of love. It is then that you will "reject" your own

mind, ego and intellect. It is then that you will say your "goodbyes"

to the hollow offerings of the world and it is then that you will begin

the ultimate search to go beyond the pain of momentary pleasure to

reach the world of everlasting peace. Yes! The first step to realizing

God is your need to want to 'change' - change and rise above your own

limitations that bind you to the horrors of unrestful desires. Once

the determination to change becomes your only aspiration, it is then

that you have taken the second step towards God realization. You must

be prepared to trample the mind until it is silenced; you must refuse

the companionship of your ego and begin to travel alone. The voice of

the heart must become the voice of the mind, and each cell of you must

soak itself with the pure nectar of love. Every change will bring with

it a stronger will of perseverance - a determination that will prevent

the future fall of failure. When the desires begin to lessen, the mind

will have no reason to speak, the heart will cure its "ache of

longing", and in this battle of change, the strangled voice of the

conscience will begin to breathe, once again, and will prompt you of

the steps that lie ahead. Once

the conscience has been awakened and has become your guide, your

companion, your trust and faith, and your reflection of God, it is

then, that you will walk on the final lapse of the journey of peace.

Yes! It is now that the truth will begin to dawn upon you - the truth

of God in you, with you and around you, at all times. The notion of the

self is conceived, yet is not experienced. For the self to be

experienced, the conception must take the reality of birth, and all

else must die! The mind and the intellect, the ego, the senses, and all

desires 'must' be exhausted, uprooted and erased, forever. Once you

have faced this death - the death of mortality for the very last time -

life will then experience its true nature - the nature being

indestructible and ever content in the bliss of itself. This is

self-realization in which man loses his name, form, identity and the

very nature of his being that is associated with this world; as a

separate entity. The day will come, when you will know that you are the

"all" and that "all" are you! Know

that the self in you is God, and to find the self, you must begin to

live the life of God. To find the truth, My dears, you must live with

truth! To find love, you must simply fill yourselves with love. All the

treasures lay within you, so the search, too, lies inward. The process

of change and the path of purity must make you, once again, the

innocent child that believes in the mother conscience to sustain his

true needs and not the wishful wants. With goodness as your star to

guide you, the stain of ignorance is bound to clear, one day, and the

self will anxiously await to reveal the real beauty and the true

strength that lies behind this body. Today must be the time of hard

work - the work that will lead to the change of tomorrow - the change

that will allow you to meet the real power and strength behind the

secret of life - God!- Divine Messages received and recorded by Mrs Seema M Dewan(Copyright reserved by the Author) 'Sai
