Fwd: He MUST come

[Guest guest]

The greatest romance is with the Infinite. You have no idea how beautifullife can be. "Unattracted to the sensory world, the yogi experiences theever-new joy of Being. His soul engaged in the union with Spirit, heattains indestructible bliss" (Bhagavad-Gita V:21). When you suddenly find God everywhere, when He comes and talks to you and guides you, the romanceof divine love has begun. Dive deep in the ocean of meditation. If you don't find the pearls of Hispresence, don't blame the ocean, blame your diving. Dive again and againuntil you find Him. Let no devotee miss his daily appointment with God. The mind may suggestthe movies or some other distraction; but when the time comes for God eachday, keep the sacred engagement. Otherwise you will be a long time findingHim. Don't think all the time of just making money. Exercise, read, meditate,love God, and act peacefully at all times. Learn to be calmly active andactively calm, carrying into your daily activities the calmness gained inthe spiritual activity of meditation. Success is not a simple matter; it cannot be determined merely by the amountof money and material possessions you have. The meaning of success goes fardeeper. It can only be measured by the extent to which your inner peace andmental control enable you to be happy under all circumstances. That is realsuccess. When you look within and your conscience is clear, your reasonunprejudiced, your will firm yet flexible, and your discrimination strong;and when you are able to obtain all the things you need and the things youconsider worthwhile, you are a success.Rouse the eternal flames of divine memory until they burn away yourforgetfulness, and you remember that you always have been, and are even now,one with the Lord. It is impossible to deceive the Lord because He is sitting right behind yourthoughts, and knows what you are thinking and desiring. If in your heartyou truly renounce the world and seek inner communion with Him, He will cometo you. But you must know that you want Him and nothing else. Once thatdesire is established in your heart, He MUST come. The temple the Lord loves most is the temple of His devotee's inner silenceand peace. Whenever you enter this beautiful temple, leave restlessness andworries behind. If you do establish in yourself a temple of beauty andpeace; there you will find Him, on the altar of your soul. Go to your room and shut the door - make no fuss. Sit down and talk to theLord. Practice meditation. Let your mind become so intense that the nexttime you sit to meditate you won't have to make the effort; your mind willbe fixed immediately on Him. If you don't make a great effort to conquerphysical and mental restlessness in the beginning, you will have difficultyevery time you meditate throughout the years. But if you make the supremeeffort at the start, you will soon be happy and free. For good reason you are not allowed to remember your past incarnations.Suppose you have been born ten times. You have therefore had ten mothers.How can you love them all the same? You are meant to learn that behindthose ten mothers there is One Mother; behind all fathers, One Father;behind all loves, One Love. How wonderful is that recognition! It is as ifyou had been playing hide-and-seek in the corridors of incarnations, andthen you find Him! You are not determined enough. As the miser loves money, as the lover lovesthe beloved, so should you love the Lord, then you will find Him, withoutfail. From Man's Eternal Quest by Paramahansa Yogananda
