Living In The Presence of God (VolII/PtII)-Chapter 50

[Guest guest]

CHAPTER 50 Devotion, My child, is not love, but it is the simplicity of one's dedication to maintain, under all circumstances, the purity enclosed in that love. Without the purity, love has no meaning, no value and no rewards. Purity, My child, is no pretense nor act, but it is the spontaneous nature of the truth that becomes the expression of the one that lives every moment and leans the entire weight of his life upon its courage. Without the love for seeking the truth, one will never be able to experience the confidence and joy that the highest love can graciously

bestow. Hence, the beginning mark of a spiritual journey, is when one abhors the life of deceit and reaches, eagerly, towards living a life that is disciplined with the rules and power of the absolute truth! Love becomes easy, when one lives life for its beauty, alone. A spiritual aspirer is confused in his journey, for he wonders if it is faith that leads him to divine love or is it the powers of love that reward him with instantaneous faith. My answer to that is faith is the eye of the blind love! Love and faith are both simply the reflections of one's own inner state of purity. Hence, which comes first can never be known nor determined, for without love, faith cannot stay - and without faith, love cannot move and touch! Just like fire is recognized, together, by its brilliance and intense warmth, devotion, too, is recognized by both the brilliant light of

faith that brightens its path and by the warmth of pure love that nurtures and protects one from the coldness of the world's illusions. Wherever there is fire, one will see the light and experience the heat - if the light is separated from the warmth, it is no more a fire. In the same way, wherever there is devotion, there must be both love and faith - if one is separated from the other, the purity of the devotion crumbles! True devotion for God arises, when the clasp of desires weakens. When in love, you must experience only the joy of the self - anything that hinders your intimacy with the self will subdue the uplifting waves of devotion. The joy of devotion can be shared by implementing sweet, simple, selfless acts. The purity in the love remains, when one is not boastful nor showy of his experience with the inner world. Hence, realize, My child, that in being alone in this wondrous experience,

truly gives one the fullest joy. One feels lonely and desperate, when one identifies the divine experience of devotion to the existing form, identity and body. But the one that relates the experience to the self will realize that the joy of his finding is known to the every self. Make every relationship pure by giving the other your real self. Devote yourselves not only to the altars in your homes or places of worship but bathe the atmosphere with love, wherever your self touches. Let your ways to love be quiet. The response of selfless love comes, when one expects it the least. Devote your lives in finding only the right way. Living right is the might of love. Purity awakens, My child, upon the implementation of one's own will power. Once the will arises, it emits the surge of supreme love that fills the void of the past errors. Such

a one will establish his reign over the present and will, himself, pave the way to the known - the final destination! God!
