Living In The Presence of God (VolII/PtI)-Chapter 59

[Guest guest]

CHAPTER 59

Give time its due value And it will whisper to you The secret of being "ageless". Be cautious! Time is like the fire For a little carelessness with its handling Will mar and scar the doer for life! Hence, O Child of God Play not with Time For teasing time will bring The moment of vengeance. The attack of time

Will make life the victim! Make not time the limitation For time becomes endless When spent in prayer And in the love that arises from its sincerity Let not time be fearful. Time will be painless when truth walks with it hand-in-hand, There is no time to rest No more time to pretend to sleep Be aware - for time must stay with you, Do not let it run ahead For catching up with time Will only let you waste the present! Hence, fill the present with the Love for God Fill it completely and You, My child, will bind time To your eternal quest! Even time will lose its rigidness, once true love for God awakens. Pure love for the Divine work will lessen one's dependence upon time. Such purity will let one lean upon the inner strength and the surge of the divine energy to perform the given work with perfection. For, such a one will not be ruled by day nor night. At every moment, he will only reflect and focus upon his one goal - his one mission - to serve his Master and to fulfill the purpose of his own life. Yes! Time, itself, will follow him in haste to beg him for it to be a part of the Divine Mission! Know, My dear, that when inner will arises, work will be led by the Divine energy, rather than time. Time cannot control the one that lives by the

dedication of his effort. It controls only a lazy mind that lacks focus and direction. Selfless work is superior to time, and hence can never be inhibited. Remember that you can always find the time for that which you dearly love. True love breaks time with it's persistence. However, if it is merely a desire to love, then one will always find the work lengthier and time insufficient. With such an attitude, one has only pre-destined failure! There is no right time to be with God - for there is no time that the Lord rests and fails to respond to an earnest prayer. If the mind is restful - the heart clean and untainted, then, even in the deepest of sleep, the true self will be aware of the Lord's presence. Time can rule and govern worldly activities, but the work of the spirit can never be hindered by its change. The one that experiences the

changes of time will not experience the state of constant bliss. For one to remain constant during the changes of time, one must carry with him, always, the truth that is linked to the nature of the self with complete faith in it - the truth in which one knows the spirit to be eternal - to be indestructible - to be changeless! To experience this truth, one must link it with his chosen work, at all times. Then, My child, the work will become reality - the experience of the knowledge! Knowledge, when it becomes experience becomes the faith. The experience of faith leads to humility. Humility leads to surrender. Surrender leads one to experience peace. Peace is the highest form of love. Peace is completely detached to time. The state of peacefulness is the state of timelessness, and the timeless liver will be the eternal lover of God!Source : LIVING IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD (Volume II/Part I)
