Living In The Presence of God (VolII/PtII)-Chapter 45

[Guest guest]

CHAPTER 45 The closer one begins to reach the highest peak of a mountain, the more treacherous and steeper becomes the climb. In the same way, the earlier phase of one's spiritual journey is a little easier - the higher one rises and comes closer to the truth, the bigger seems the challenge in keeping one's inner faith. Faith that is linked to one's own desires is bound to shake and make you stumble. True faith is the eye of the purest love. Such faith can be developed and attained by intensifying the discipline within one's

way of life that awakens the strength of inspiration. It is only inspiration that gives the will to dedication. True and continuous dedication to simpleness and purity will find its way to an innocent and childlike love that will depend upon the complete inner guidance. When one begins to take every small step in life only by the promptings that awaken by the sense of his inner purity, he, My child, begins to ignore, easily, the fears of his mind and develops an intuitive power that allows his love for the truth to become the true experience. When one, over and over again uses his intuitive power, he begins to develop higher powers of concentration that allows his awareness to the truth to become instantaneous. When awareness begins to grow, one only finds confidence in the self's language, and such confidence gives one the steadfastness of faith in the self's every choice. The powers of selfless love, purity and faith in the self will

let one rise to climb to the peak of concentration, and the power of this inner focus leads one's self to merge with the eye of the Divine consciousness so that it experiences its power as a part of the entire existence. Hence, faith, My child, will come, only when one is ready to love only the reality of truth. Fore go all your worries, My child, and keep the path clear for the self to emerge and guide every aspect of your life with its fearless strength. Realize that it is one's own selfishness that steals from one the purity of faith. The fear of knowing the true self within makes one's vision foggy and weak, and thus, the reality appears unclear to the one that lacks love for his own true nature. Man is unable to experience the will power of God within him, only because he has entangled its divine

strength with the impurities of his own desires and hopeless attachments. Remember that a poor will power will make one dependent and enslaved only upon the demands of the mind, and such a one will not be able to see nor believe the perfection and the purity of his own inner existence. There is no reality to fear, ever. Fear becomes the reality, only when one loses contact with his own self. Realize, My child, that the reality of the self keeps all fears at bay. Know that the uncertainty of the next moment can be captured, when one makes the present moment the very best. Even the slightest laziness will give you several moments of undue worry. Hence, finish every given task, and let the joy and confidence of its peace lead and steer you towards the ultimate goal. Worry, My child, is the state of denial - faith is the humility of

acceptance. The time has come for one to see that the glory of God is not hidden in the mystical clouds. Yes! Heaven is not a place for one to imagine or dream of. Heaven is the bliss of one's awareness of the strength of his own purity that awakens one to express its simpleness. Hell, My child, is when one indulges and obsesses with his own fears and becomes possessed with them, so much so, that the simpleness of the truth becomes the source of his every anxiety. Hence, choose, My dear, the heaven of truth and reject, once and forever, the hell of fear!
