Living In The Presence of God (VolII/PtII)-Chapter 19

[Guest guest]

CHAPTER 19 No one knows what time holds Time reveals its secrets And opens its palms Only when man opens His heart to God! An open heart is only The true Lover of time, For he accepts it's every moment And makes it a heartful prayer! Hence time can hold this

world But not the one That has learnt to tread Upon the path That is beyond its hands The realized one Makes time his self And thus turns time's limitations Into the endless glory of the Divine! Whatever happens, My child, is the will of the Divine. Know this as a fact - as a practice in life and not merely as a reading in some ancient scripture or religious bible. The Will of the Lord is never a curse, nor a punishment - it is a lesson from which one derives the inspiration to clear the obstacles of the present path that one has chosen to reach the Divine Mother. Yes! Even if the

obstacle is one's own doing, the Lord, with His goodness and love for you, will create the circumstances in life so that one is able to see the thorn of evil in his own actions and thoughts. The pain that one faces to realize that he has degenerated from his own divine nature is also a part of the scheme that the Lord plans, in order for one to undergo the spiritual transformation. Hence, have the complete faith that it is only His Will that can lead the empty life that is unaware of the true nature of God - it is only His Will that can exhaust one's own fickle desires and can turn one towards a new life, in which one expresses that which he already has, rather than living a life in the false hopes of truly receiving from his own pitiful, unending, unsatisfying, hopeless wishes! Imagine the calamity man would face, if God would fulfill his every whim and desire!! He, My

child, would lose his complete direction of life and like a beast would stay in hiding, with the fear that each one that passes him is in search of him so that he can attack him and take away the treasure that he, himself, is fearful to use. What use is that jewel that looks the best in the treasure box? If one is not able to adorn it and share it, then, however rare the stone, whatever its value, in reality, it has given you the fear of having it - hiding it - maintaining it and guarding it. Desire is the wish of possessing, and once one possesses it, it, automatically, creates the evil fear that makes it difficult for one's own use. Hence, desire is nothing but the state of the biggest poverty, for it takes from you the inner strength - it steals your stability - it takes away from you every moment of rest - it leaves you energiless, fatigued and mentally disabled - the only thing it can ever give you is anxiety, fear, worry, hatred, anger,

bitterness, greed, jealously and envy! Hence, My child, unload - Yes! Give away the worldly treasures you hide, and take in return, the peace one has in just being the self. Remember, the wise say that if you have the self, you have it all! Shine the interior - keep it clean - the exterior is bound to weather and rust. The time you face is only the reflection of your past doing. Don't try to change time - change from what you have chosen to become. Be yourself. Have the courage to do this, and time, too, will change for the better, only to reflect your effort, your dedication and your devotion. Perfection, My child, does not come by prayer - not by wishing - not by hoping - not by wanting - it comes by hard work - by the simple doing and being. Be what you are - do what you must do and receive what you rightly deserve! That is

the guiding light of life - the law of Mother nature and the true will power of the Lord in each one!
