Living In The Presence of God (VolII/PtI)-Chapter 62

[Guest guest]

CHAPTER

62 Keep peace above all thoughts. Keep compassion before words. Keep selfless love as the most sacred companion. Do not act upon impulse - do not shatter the present with the outbursts of passion and emotion. Unhappiness is that state in which one denies himself the joys of one's own divine strengths. Nothing in the world can ever attack you, until and unless you are susceptible to its weakness. No one - no circumstance has the strength to snatch from you the stability of the inner peace. Peace is easily lost by the one that has lost his

confidence to stay happy. Finding worldly happiness, My child, is not the perfect life! True happiness will never come in receiving - it comes to those that are ever ready to give! Remember, O dearest, that by being angry and bitter, you will only further spread the disease of discontentment. Contentment does not come when life offers you the pleasures of worldly toys - it comes when one needs only the self to survive. Do not blame another for your tears of fury. Disappointments and depression arises, when one sees the failure as the dead-end. Do not make haste - do not, with impatience, lament the loss. Failure, in life, is the seed to success. Nurture the seed with your persistence, confidence and devotion to God, and the roots, My child, will be strong to hold the tree that bears the fruits to spirituality. Be impartial to what the eyes

see and the mind thinks. To resolve any issue, one must remain nonjudgmental. Be pure at heart and calm by mind and the mess will de-tangle on its own. Know, My child, that worry is the biggest stress. Unload the burden of unnecessary fears from your shoulders, and the problem will appear insignificant before your strength. Worry comes, only when one sees the power of the self as the smallest. Worry is a stream of thoughts that simply imagines the catastrophe, when, in reality, the catastrophe is avertable, easily. Do not live your life on such imaginations, for, the reality will become too distant to accept. Remember that change comes, when one wills it! Realize that your own change is imperative for life to remain constant with the bliss of peace. To control the

response of your own mind's promptings is much easier than controlling the minds of all those that you encounter. Bear in mind that love is the biggest healer of all pains. Those that are wounded and maimed need a noble soul that can accept their pain and anguish. Life is only what you have made life to be. If you see life as misery, then you will be miserable. If you see life as worry, then you will be fearful. Often, the true gifts of life cannot be seen nor touched. Only the one that is able to have faith in its Giver will be able to see His shadow reflect upon his course, from time to time. Do not feel cheated by giving love alone, for in giving unconditional love, lies the hidden experience of Godhood! Do your duty the best you can - do not waste time in calculating another's duty towards you. In performing your duty, be free from all

its attachments. The freedom lies in working hard and in forgetting the pain and the results. Do not expect to be forgiven for all your faults - repent - do not resent the penance. The one that repents with remorse and anger will not learn the lesson, ever. Faults vanish, My child, when repentance comes from the heart. Sacrifice, at all times - do not remember it, nor resent it. Do not be a coward and attempt to end life before the Lord wills the soul's exit from the present body. Ending life will not take away the existing troubles - it takes only the body and the present role, but it carries the weakness of all attachments. Hence, learn, My child, to live life - learn to face it - learn to fight its challenges - learn to overcome its pain - learn to maintain the current of purity, at all times. The Giver of life - the liver - life - the way of life are all linked together. To

live in that synchrony, is to find the beginning of every strength within you. The end of such divine strength is the will of the Holy Mother!Source : LIVING IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD (Volume II/Part I)
