Living In The Presence of God (VolII/PtII)-Chapter 62

[Guest guest]

CHAPTER 62 It is only the love for God that will release man from his every desire. The one that experiences pure love for the Divine, receives the bliss of contentment, finds the path of stability, and feels within him an assurance of the ultimate security that no material object nor attachment can ever offer. Thus, every being, at one stage of one lifetime, will experience the exhaustion of his own desires and will turn inward to find rest within his own self. Realize, thus, that it is only then when one, voluntarily, with his own free will, turns towards God - it is

only then, that the divine presence reveals to him his own nature. As long as one prays and acts towards God with compulsion, fear and competitiveness - until then God will remain to be silent. God speaks and responds, only when one earnestly finds within him the joyful silence and is able to focus and concentrate, completely, on nothing else, but in delivering his heart filled message to the Divine ear! Yes! It is the purity and sincerity in your spiritual search that captures God within you for eternity! Desires comes, when one constantly fears his own self to be much smaller and lesser than that which surrounds him. As the fear grows, one becomes less and less aware of his own existence, and he runs to embrace the material world, in order to fill the void within him. But, soon, he realizes that the worldly pleasures can never give him back his self, that he lost somewhere, in his desperate and

hopeless run. Yes! My child, the self will itself return, when one leaves all else, even his own thoughts and is able to stand, withstand and be guided by its strength, alone! One will receive the self, only when one realizes that within the self, alone, is the every need of life. Within the self, alone, is the every strength of life - and the self, itself, is the lover of love that leads life into the miraculous path that beholds the perfect journey. Desire is the evil seed that can only sprout, if one nurtures it by his undue attention. Hence, be alert, at all times, and do not be persuaded or convinced by its charming mannerisms. Desire is like the corrupt politician that begs for your vote and entices you with its hollow promises - but remember, once you choose for it to seat upon the chair of your reasoning, it, My child, ruthlessly, enjoys its new powers and destroys the same one that elected

it to rule. Realize that the one that truly has, will give, without the lure of enticements, for enticements, My sweet, are merely the dreams of a weak mind! Walk your lives only with the self - do not trade your respect - your true identity - your confidence - your contentment and your only love for a small, worldly value. One attracts the power of the Universal Spirit to him by living with the highest love that sees in all the equality of the self. Desire, on the other hand, gives one nothing, but the illusion of one's own superiority over another. And when one's desire remains unfulfilled, one drowns in the waves of envy, hatred and greed and thus, he spends his life in the false complexes of his own inferiority. Thus, the one that lives with his desires will equate the size of the self with what he receives or loses from this world. Little does he know, that the size of the self is immeasurable

and that the self, itself, can measure all of life with its one step of the Mighty truth! In fact, the entire universe draws its strength from the pure power of the self, alone!
