Living In The Presence of God (VolII/PtII)-Chapter 16

[Guest guest]

CHAPTER 16 In the fear of the rejection of failure, man has lost the strength to make the sincere attempt. If the intention is pure - the cause selfless - the mission divine, then know that no one can stand in the way of its ultimate success. Remember, My child, the biggest rejection of all is Self-Rejection. Believe in the power of the self-confidence, and it will carry you with its will and determination to the highest step. If you begin the first step saying to the self "No"! "No", then the next step is sure to be imbalanced with its fear. Say

"Yes! Yes!" My child - Yes to the inner will - Yes to the patience - Yes to faith. Have the conviction that if the love for the work is true, then that truth will complete the work in due time! Do not be in a hurry, for the efforts of such work will be wasted. The joy of good work is received, when one is not threatened by the moving time. The desire to finish work early comes, when one is anxious to see the results and outcome. Such an impure desire will take one away from sincere effort, and hence, the work, too, will eventually, suffer. Remember, the divine work will be resisted by the lazy mind, for the work of truth always chooses the right, and not necessarily, the easy path. Hence, realize, My child, that to accomplish good work, one has to fight his own mind much more than anyone or anything else. Have the conviction that you are led by the self and every doubt of the mind

will automatically clear. No one - no circumstances can convince you to give up your struggle for the truth, until and unless you have allowed your self to be conditioned by weak thoughts. Never let the temporary pain in the struggle become the focus. Bear it - rise higher - and let the truth survive! Be enthusiastic, not only at the time the work is undertaken, but one must find the motivation and inspiration to stand erect throughout the struggle in his spiritual journey. Know, My child, that inspiration to love the holy work is self created. Do not, ever, depend upon an outer source to elevate your spirits, or else, you will face the ups and downs of elation and depressions - Have complete faith in the purity of the self and it will be the Master Inspirer. Peace will come, only when one realizes that the self within is self-sufficient. It is only

dependence that makes one a victim of fears, attachments, and makes one less confident. Rely only upon the inner strength - the inner wisdom - the inner will, and you will complete the journey with much more ease. Nervousness is nothing but the cruel play of the mind upon you. Make the attempt, and thereby, crush the fears. It is much better to face rejection than to live with its fear. Sometimes, success comes easily into your lap - at other times, it teaches you the lesson of true life and makes you stronger. Failure, itself, is a part of the success, for its fall gives one the will power to be perfect the next time. Pure efforts is never wasted - at one point it will merge with the Will of the Divine Force. Learn by your experiences, and live by its perfect wisdom!
