Living In The Presence of God (VolII/PtII)-Chapter 17

[Guest guest]

CHAPTER 17 Worry, today, and you will be unprepared for tomorrow. Most live their lives in the "fear of doing" and hence, lose the conception of the value that time holds. One loses time in imaginations and suppositions, and in this state of complete hysteria, the reality of life, itself, passes them by. Little do they realize, that the golden opportunity is simply what one makes time to be. Do not wait endlessly for life to make the turning point. Realize, My child, that you are the traveler - it is you that chooses

the road and direction - it is you that must make the effort and the necessary arrangements for a smooth journey - it is you that must remember your chosen, final destination. Life is simply the road that allows you to tread your feet upon itself and accepts the burden of the worldly luggage that you choose to carry. Hence, you, My sweet, are the artist that makes his inspiration express as the true masterpiece! Remember, life becomes the masterpiece, when your self becomes the eternal guide and its loving Master. Be disciplined, and express only the nature of the true self within you, and life will project the image of the inner beauty! Confidence comes, when one sees his own self as the wheel that steers the direction of his life. Foresee the threats, only so that you develop the courage to clear the thorns in your

path. For how long, My child, will you stand rooted to the ground in your fear for the challenge ahead! Live the life of self discipline, and you will be able to conquer every fear. Practice developing the restraint that will prevent you from acting against the nature of the true self. Such continuous control will, eventually, stop one from reacting, impulsively, and in fact, will develop the inner maturity that will allow one to review his response, several times, before he approves to react in the appropriate manner! Such control comes, easily, once one has begun to love and respect the nature of the self, for in the wish, lies the laziest of all efforts. Realize, My child, that one can be, only when one knows that he already is! Remember, when one has pure intentions -

complete dedication - full devotion - unshakable faith - undying patience, such a one, will, one day, receive the Might of the Lord, knowingly, in the midst of his struggle in his efforts. The miracle of the Lord's presence makes the hard work his gift. The devotee, My child, realizes that his struggle was only the divine inspiration, in which, he captured the vision of the inner eye, and with its blissful knowledge, was able to see the world and his life in the radiant light of God! Repetitive thoughts that merely invoke fear must be cast out! Deal with the thought by matching its weakness with your inner strength. Challenge every weak thought by immersing yourself in acts that emanate with the inner will power. Do not nourish a weak thought, even for a second. Not only must you face it and fight it, but you must prove to it that its thinking is unnatural and foreign to your language. Remind

it that you speak only the truth - remind it that you see only the real - remind it that you can feel only love. Such constant reminders will shame it from its hopeless instigation!
