Living In The Presence of God (VolII/PtII)-Chapter 53

[Guest guest]

CHAPTER 53 Thoughts obstruct the flow of faith in one's own self. The mind that is raided by constant thoughts will find it impossible to experience a moment's silence. Such a one, will live his life in constant fatigue and will fear every moment of rest for he dreads to sleep upon the bed of his inner confusions. Man, today, finds it difficult to accomplish his daily tasks. In fact, he is tired, even before the day has begun. Little does he realize, that the work is small, but his fear to do the work is hovering and intimidating his time and efforts.

Instead of utilizing the sources of his own inner powers to perform his duty and chosen work, he argues and defies with the confidence of his own self and prefers spending his time in trying to avoid his work and demean his every rising effort! Man requires 5-6 hours of sleep daily. The body craves for more sleep, for one, in the waking hours, has abused it with the attack of his mind. The body, My child, is the instrument of the spirit - Yes! The soul is its only master! If one will control its movements by the chaos of one's own mind, that body is going to age rapidly and will break under the spell and curse of man's wishes! The health of the body is dependent upon the focal strength of the mind. If the mind is able to focus and concentrate upon the goals that emanate from the purity of the inner self, then, such a one, will receive the optimal use of his

body and will protect it from the dark shadows of disease and aging. Thought processes can be decreased by increasing spiritual activities. Spiritual activities allow one to be controlled and directed by discipline, rather than comfort. Realize, My child, that discipline is not the rigidity of rules but it is the freedom to peace. Discipline is nothing but the vision of the one way - the true way - for it is the illusionary options of the mind that bring the hopeless diversions. Thoughts arise, only when one debates the truth and tries to find a way that is easier on the mind. Realize, My dear one, that if one thing is easier on the mind, then it is surely going to be tougher to release the truth from the self. When you are constantly receptive to the mind, you, My child, have closed every channel to the true self! Think less of what may happen and simply do what you are supposed to. Whatever you may fear, even if it does happen, realize, there is always a way out. It is much better to spend time in finding the way out, rather than indulging in the pity of being lost! The right way can never be found by constant probing and thinking. Only where there is inner silence, the self will arise to direct its divine mission. Worry, My child, is the nature of a lazy mind! Be organized, do all that you must, and do not give the mind an opportunity to ever speak the language of fear and wear down your will power and inner strength. Believe, My child, that a good life depends upon the dedication in your spiritual efforts - the contentment in your mental state and the faith and love you have for the

nature of the inner spirit. Know your self by experience, My child - not by thoughts!
