Living In The Presence of God (VolII/PtII)-Chapter 34

[Guest guest]

CHAPTER 34 Keep the mind constantly aware of the open and sincere heart - in such awareness, where purity is the sole direction, love the only path, and truth the only dependence, such a one will awaken, forever, his self to the powerful nature of the Perfect God! Perfection does not come if one constantly thinks himself to be weak. Remember, one is weak not by what one does, but by what he believes his own self to be. For one to shed a weakness, one has to break the barriers that allow him to be tempted to its lazy, cowardly ways. Man, today, blames all for his

own misdoings. He loses all insight in self-pity! Little does he realize, that in concealing his wrong, he buries the courage to be able to see the right in the absolute truth. When the wrong leads, fear follows, and the man in between the wrong and the fear will act under the pressures of confusion. In such confusion, he makes his self smaller than any fear and bigger than the greed of any desire. Such a man makes himself frail before the temptful powers of creation. Unaware of his willful bondage, he continues to destroy his self, only to protect his desires and serve his every pitiful fear! Most continue to do the wrong only because they lose the inner faith to ever be able to see the light of the right. It is common for a traveler to lose, at times, his direction - but if one, single, wrong turn would easily convince him to find another destination, instead of making the attempt to find

his way back, then, such a traveler, would never reach the end of his journey. He, My child, would find himself in places where he loses all his inner peace, contentment and respect for his own self. In the same way, one wrong must not convince one to undo his commitment in reaching his goal of complete purity and perfection. Find your way back, fight your way back and remember that even the most serious wrong can connect itself to the path of truth. The wrong, My child, becomes the sin, when one firmly believes in the abruptness of the dead end and himself refuses to return. Hence, a sin is not in the act that wrongs, but it is in the doer that sees the wrong as the life sentence imprisonment! The self, My child, is the best teacher of all. There is nothing that the self can learn, for it is the container of all knowledge. Learning is the process, where one finds the way only to express his pre-existing knowledge. The confusion is not in the knowing but in applying it in our daily lives. Even the inspirational words of the wise allow you to awaken from the deep pretense of sleep; the vision, My child, is already in you. He only convinces you with his experience and gives your pre-existing divine powers the real reason to awaken and activate! Do not dwell, constantly, upon the wrongs of the past. The present is the best opportunity for one to erase the stains of the past. Weakness is only the acceptance of one's current state of misery. Misery is that condition, in which, one is convinced that the self's endurance of pain is much smaller than the pain, itself! Realize, My child, that it was the Mighty Will of the Divine that brought every life into existence. Pain is only a small part of the Universal Will that allows the

strength of the will to express its glorious nature! Hence, do not simply stop at experiencing the smallness of pain. Rise! Awaken, My dears! For the pain is only the pitch that awakens the miracle of God in the sleeping man! Saying : Life becomes simple and uncomplicated, when one sees it with the eyes of innocence and purity. Simplicity is the purest expression of the true self that is completely unhindered by the influence of one's own perceptions. Perception is nothing but the experience of a thought that estimates the value of the vision that lies ahead! An estimation is never absolute, hence, realize that a perception, too, is never the whole truth. Anything that is shy of the truth will only reflect its unknown fear. When such fear begins to grow, man becomes more and more distant from his own

self. Yes! He becomes closer to what he thinks he is, than to what he really is! Thinking, My child, is the unreality of being - the reality of being is in no thinking. Hence, believe only in the being - not in the becoming, for becoming is a wishful dream that never lets one be, and in simply being, one lives the every present moment in the absoluteness of the truth and in its constant awareness, expresses its rich ideals - fulfilling his own self with the simplicity of the only reality - God!
