Living In The Presence of God (VolII/PtII)-Chapter 13

[Guest guest]

CHAPTER 13 However soft the steps of evil may be, know that the one that is in continuous contact with the divine force will, immediately, sense its deceptive presence and will chase it with the power of its truth, until the evil is breathless and lifeless! But man, today, indulges in his disbeliefs and doubts of the Divine Presence, and in this state of ignorance, he, himself, opens the door to the mischievous knock of evil. Little does he realize, that in the confusion of his undirected thoughts, he allows the evil to enter, build its home, and lodge itself upon the throne

(his heart), and slowly, slyly, it builds the kingdom in which only selfishness becomes the way of control and the way of easy manipulation! Be prepared, My child, to live the worst life, if you are unable to see and recognize the inner evil, for the outer evil is only an illusion. The inner evil is nourished by your susceptibility to the outer influences. If you judge the outer circumstances as the cause of your downfall, know, My child, that you have harbored and anchored the home of evil, even closer and more firmly! Remember, My dear, that one is only able to see bad, when he, himself, is a part of its weakness. Realize, that you can feel the heat, only when you are close to the fire! Similarly, you can see the dirt of another's wrong, only when you have been buried in its filth

for a long time. Thus, it is time to correct one's own vision. The clarity of the spiritual eye comes, only when the sincere yearning to purity awakens. Bitterness comes, only when one's own selfish interests have not been sustained. Each one fights the cause on the grounds of the self-interest. Few realize, My child, the truth - that the interest of the inner self is to give away all, only to keep and preserve the beauty, the purity and the sweetness of its true nature! If that becomes each one's priority and goal, then every fight, every disagreement, every small argument will dissolve instantaneously. To gain spiritual strengths, one must be ready to give up the worldly aspirations. One cannot yearn to be spiritually inclined and yet desire to be worldly powerful. By that, I do not mean that one must foolishly

renounce his duties and responsibilities and run to the forest. No! Work hard, My child, to fulfill the given work - yet, do not grab from another to make your work easy and short. What you give in performing your duty was simply needed, and the desire to receive the glory of the pain that you endured must not be present. One must aspire to rise higher, not to simply receive its comforts and honor, but one must yearn to be the leader, only because he has found within him the strength to uplift another's sorrow and misery. Being miserable, is depriving one's own self from expressing its inner joy. It is like the miser that saves all to eat tomorrow and completely starves, today. If one is completely devoid of energy, today, how will he even have the strength to open the hidden treasure, tomorrow? Divine treasure is miraculous, for, the more one uses its riches, the more the treasure

fills. Leave all limitations that prevent you from being perfect, and you will experience a surge of inner strength that will surely carry out, the Divine Will instantly. Those that carry the Divine Will, will never stop, nor break in life, ever! Be pure! Be plain! Be peaceful! It is only in a simple life that one will experience the purity of true love. Be happy and thankful for whatever you have, and then realize that it, too, must be given to serve the need of another's hollow and empty heart! Give life, and love God - that is My message for all!
