Living In The Presence of God (VolII/PtI)-Chapter 29

[Guest guest]

CHAPTER

29 Devotion is complete, when one not only expresses silently his love for God, but when one accepts God's love for him in every way, in any form. But what a pity, My child, for the struggling devotee, today, puts terms and conditions before the love of his Master. Such kind of love is bound to be hopelessly critical and impatiently judgmental. God's love can only be understood by the one that rises to the state of complete purity and self realization. Until then, one will fail to see the brilliance of its divinity and will only compare and bind it to the present state of his own imbalanced mind. A true devotee finds and experiences that his

faith in the goodness of God is only, in reality, the strength of the Lord's love that lives in him. He knows, My child, that his love for the Supreme consciousness is only the reflection of its pure image. It is only sinful pride, My dear, that weighs one's own love against the love of his Master. A true lover of God will spend not even a moment in impatience. For him, My sweet, the response of God's love is simply present at every moment. For him, the prayer, itself, is the healer - he is inseparable from love, hence, he is naturally inseparable from God. Do not separate the loving forms of God from God, anymore. Devotion is not the prayer you offer to God - it is the offering of the love in the prayer - it is the offering of one's sincerity - it is the gift of one's own self to God. Prayer must not be confined to words - the strength of its

inspiration must lead to the actions. I do not measure a true devotee by the time he spends with Me in his prayer room. No! I respond to the love he gives not only to the idols of worship, but to the ideals of truth that I represent. God can never be confined to time or place - hence, remember, always, My child, that the love for God, too, must be carried, always. Those that carry God, will carry the vision of their final destination, and those that see the reality over the illusion, will rise with every strength and will overcome the barriers of life by asserting the power of their will. Such noble souls will not only themselves find their way to the doors of heaven, but they will carry and lead several others to help Me in My mission. Give up all your selfishness, and devotion is bound to arise. The one that lives to fulfill his own desires, will find it very difficult to find the pure

love for the Supreme Mother. The struggle is not in developing pure love, but it is in giving up that which hinders the spontaneous flow of love that you have brought with you, in you - in this world! Faith, too, is not difficult to develop. Faith is nothing but the expression of unshakable love. Love is your nature, it is the purpose with which you come - it is your only expression - hence, know, My child, that in reality, there is nothing to find - nothing to develop - nothing to learn - It is all you! See yourself! Realize your self! And you will experience it all! The self realized soul, My dear, can only explain God in so many words. Even language becomes the barrier towards the end. God cannot be explained - He can only be experienced. God cannot be proven by the one that experiences Him. The only proof that he can give the deluded man is that of his peace, his contentment and his

stability. Beyond that, one is helpless - for one's own vision of Gods stays with himself. Each one will experience the light in his own home - each one will rejoice, alone - and each one will tell a separate story of My glory!Source : LIVING IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD (Volume II/Part I)
