Guest guest Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 CHAPTER 47 Be happy! Be happy! For Whatever life brings Whatever it takes Is only an illusion That enwraps you in its deceit And blindfolds the spiritual eye From seeing the rainbows of divinity That emerge from the pure will Of the true self! Be content! Be content! Realize, O child That whatever time gives It will eventually take back Hence, lean upon the gifts That the self brings its birth And utilize its pure powers To wipe all memories Of losses and gains Be free! Be free! Fly, My child, with the wings of truth And let not the sorrows of desires Ever touch the courage To remain perched at the highest peak Let life come - let time go But you, My child, must remain The same, always For you, there is no coming - no going - for You are that part - that comes to be The true love of life And you are the whole that leaves a part Of its pure love within the journey of life Thus your link with life Is not, My child, by birth or death But it is with the love you bring It is with the love you live It is with the love you leave behind! Live the life of love And let love live, forever! The obstruction to the purity of simple, innocent love is what one secretly and subtly desires from the love. Realize, My child, that the response of love is not even a little lesser than what you have been able to humbly offer to that particular form of love. One experiences an unbalanced response in a relationship, only because he is ignorantly weighing his love and desires together and is expecting the return to be only the weight of pure love. No, My child! That is only the dream of a foolish man that attempts to justify to the real self that his desires are only pure and will only enhance the beauty of the love that he offers. But the reality remains that any desire, however small, whatever its intent, will, eventually, corrode and rust the brilliance of purity that the true love beholds! A mother works very hard for her child to be and to see the very best in life, but the moment she expects her efforts to reflect in her child's life, she, My child, loses the present strength of effort and creates the empty vacuum in the pure relationship which causes the child to begin the hopeless and painful descent into the world of payment that bargains the value of love and demeans it to become an equal exchange. Remember, My child, that love that begins to be measured loses its height and becomes as small and impure as one's expectations from it. Love is the wings that allow one to see the reality of the self much mightier than one's own selfish interests. Today, even the love between the parent and the child is impure and selfish, hence, they suffer the grief of their own misinterests. Suffering, My child, is itself the reflection of one's own selfish interest from the love he has given. A true lover is only content in giving the joy of love and does not count the ways of return. Love that is given and remembered will only wait, impatiently, for its due return. Hence, to experience true love, one has to be content with his love for the inner self - only then, will he be able to give its strength and not worry, if his gift has been rightly appreciated. Looking for appreciation, is only seeking the troubles of the future worry! Be grateful for every little experience that allows you to taste the sweetness of love. Every love that is given to you can be pure if you accept it with no judgments. Love becomes priceless, when one is able to receive its fullest joy, even in the smallest act. Until the lesson of love is learned, your life, My child, will stay incomplete, once again, in this birth, and the true self will initiate another journey of life for it to complete the unfinished lesson. Let the lesson become the practice and let this practice give you the wondrous experience, in which you are able to see the love become the self and are able to realize the self to be the strength that gives love the sparkle of its purity.
