Living In The Presence of God (VolII/PtII)-Chapter 43

[Guest guest]

CHAPTER 43 Fear harms one, much more, than what it comes to take. Realize, My child, that when one doubts his own inner strength, one begins to lose the battle, much before the actual confrontation. There is no bigger enemy than one's own lurking fears. Why does fear arise in man? Fear comes, when the self revolts from the suppression and oppression that one inflicts upon its purity. When one makes the choice that is against his own true nature, one faces and experiences the pains of hiding the impure choice, silently, from his own self. The self, My

child, is all knowing - all pervasive. There is no space that one can hide, without its complete awareness. Hence, every attempt that is made to hide the impurity is only futile, and the continual defeat of concealing the wrong from one's own knowing, gives one the expression of an illusionary loss also known to one as "fear". Thus, fear, My child, is no outer loss - it is only the outcome of the unsuccessful attempt of one's own thoughts that are unable to conquer and subdue the radiance of the purity of the true self! The outer loss that appears is only another cheap trick of the mind, for it, temporarily, diverts one from seeking the inner strength to experience and realize the real enemy! In reality, one is not the victim of the circumstances that life brings; rather, one is the victim of the insecurities of his own fears. Man depends upon the outer resources for his every rescue. Hence, his

dependency has increased, his self reliance is limited as per his knowledge of the self. The lesser he knows and realizes his own origin, the more he runs into the arms of the evil world. The more he leans upon his worldly attachments, the more he suffers the pains of illusion and the farther he drifts from the strength of the reality! It is a vicious cycle, My child, and one can only find his way out by being conscious and alert to his every insecurity, by controlling the immediate urge to respond in a frightful panic, and by seeking and utilizing one's own inner strength to overcome the power of the illusionary loss! Fears will begin to dwindle, as one begins to make more and more contact with his own true self. Such contact and communication is developed, as one begins to live life with more purity and lesser desires. The lesser one wants - the lesser one will fear to lose - the more will power he will gain to remain untouched and pure. As will power increases, one is not easily affected by every outer change. Such steadfastness and discipline gives one the wealth of faith in his own self. The faith in one's own self will, eventually, give him the experiences of its reality. The more he experiences the hidden powers of the self, the lesser he will want from the transient world; and the lesser he wants, the more he will truly receive from the powers within! Such a man that remains content in the self will see only with its eyes and will recognize the oneness of all the Divine creation. For him, there is no friend - no foe - no giver - no taker - no attacker - no caretaker. When all the outer differences are dissolved by the powers of self-realization, there remains no more reason to live in the seclusion of

identity and form. It is only the falsehood of identity that blinds one enough to steal from the same self in another form! But when one becomes only the core and leaves alone the outer shell, then one finds the joy of being the same life in the different manifestations. The wisdom of such oneness, and the constant awareness of the one God, one power, and one love in all, will allow the enlightened one to always see that the only truth in every fear is its emptiness!Source : LIVING IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD (Volume II/Part II)
