Guest guest Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 CHAPTER 5 Today, each one looks for their own comfort and happiness. One remains deaf to the pain of even the one he thinks he loves most. The disease of selfishness has swarmed the heart of man. With every moment that passes, his heart grows smaller. "Living one's life for all" has become an ideal that was practiced only in the earlier age - the present age is that, in which man has adopted all ways, where the doom and destruction of the human race is inevitable. No one knows where suffering comes from. Each one is blinded to the strength that stops suffering, instantaneously. Ignorance and loss of morals have taken away the patience from man, and hence, no one finds the courage to wait for the suffering to come to an end. In the haste and loss of faith in their own self, one can bear the pain of the thorn for barely a minute and in the anger, bitterness and frustration that follow the pain, man commits yet another error, leaving the reigns to time that destroy him little by little! Outward love that only depends and knows no sacrifice is not love, My child. Love is not to control, intimidate, threaten and manipulate. "Love" is a word used so loosely, today, that one does not realize the commitment involved in its true expression. Love does not come by spending wasteful time with another. Closeness does not come when one shares the same resentment or bad habit. True friendship is when one is together in thinking the same ideals - it is when two stay away from obstructing each other's spiritual paths - it is when one's inspiration gives the other the divine energy to lead life in the right manner. A true friend will fight every impurity and will never taint nor blemish the one he cherishes to love. Living to nurture one's own wishes, demeans the purpose of life. To encounter with the purest form of love, one must rise to forget his every comfort, his every need and must make another's request of help his honor, his respect and his worth to strengthen his devotion to God. That service is worthy, when the server becomes the true servant. Selflessness comes, My child, when one burns every bit of his pride and makes the work his joy and only source of attaining God-like purity. The Lord has come to this world in different forms over and over again. He has left the riches of the Divine truth, but unfortunately, man has yet not found the faith to receive the message that will liberate him, now, and forever. Believe, and you, My child, have half the wealth of the Lord's kingdom. The other half is the joy of its experience! Believe that within you lies the strength that can give without any measure. Believe that you are led in life by truth alone, believe that you will be awakened by the lingering kiss of the Supreme Consciousness. Believe, My child, and the Good Lord will place the faith of the divine in your pleading palms! "Life is leaving and believing" - Yes! Leaving the world and believing in the world beyond! The world's riches you will leave, one day. God's wealth will live, even after the leaving! Until the doors of the heart are closed - until then, the wave of love from within will not arise. The happiness of the dream are short-lived and untrue. Hence, each one must make the promise that you will live only the reality. Only in the reality lies the true joy, My child, and you and all else deserve nothing other than the whole - the complete - the eternal truth! Life is true When you believe That life is The love of God! Life is true When you believe That God is The truth of life Life is true When you believe That love is The life of God! Yes! His love is You! His life is You! His truth is You!
