Guest guest Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 HOW TO LOVE GOD (Chapter 5)- continuation -How do we love a being that does not have a form? How do we love an entity that is not concretely before one, visible? How can we love something we don't understand? We can see the people we love, our parents, children and friends, but we cannot see God. How to generate love, create love, a physical feeling, a loving emotion for this God. How can we have feeling for a being that is as thin as air, subtler than space, invisible? The answer is to give Him a form - imagine a form, envision a form. Concretise Him either in physical or subtle forms. Choose and visualize a form you prefer and concentrate upon that one form only. To love the formless is near impossible but give God a visual appearance, a physical representation and one can generate this love. Look at, see the form and think of the form, imagine the form, reflect on the form. Observe each feature of the face, hands, feet and hair - this is how to create love. Soon that form will appear more beautiful and radiant, the very form of beauty itself. Develop self-confidence. Then, love will follow. It will come naturally, from within. In this way, the love will be pure.The Lord is not a myth; He is not an invisible entity. He is living here and now. He is accessible here and now. He is love total and complete. Without Him, there is only loneliness. When there is separation from Him, there is only unhappiness. Even though surrounded by love and caring and the usual joviality, one can be shrouded in doom and gloom. The remedy is always within your own hands; seek the Lord within. Seek the Lord and seek His companionship again and again until you can never be separated from Him. Like milk and water, you become one in total union with Him. Once milk and water merge, it can never be separated; that is what we must aim for.Leaving everything to His will is the highest for of love. Surrendering everything to the divine with no thoughts, longings, wishes, needs or wants, just Him. It is the fundamental principle of attaining God, of attaining the divine key. The putting into practice of all these principles can be stated in one very simple word 'acceptance'. Accept what is around you; accept what happens as the divine will, for truly, it is so. We start by converting all our ordinary actions into good actions. When we are interested in the benefit of others, it is only then we relinquish any attachment. We see everything as His doing and let Him assign the rewards as He sees fit. If the results turn out good, wonderful! If they don't turn out good, no blame; we have done our best. We have done everything as prompted by the inner guide. And we do everything we do to the limits of our human capacity for excellence and perfection, with full concentration and compassion, but with total indifference to the results; and yet we remain totally unconcerned about how it turns out. The way to do that is to offer it all to the Lord. We let Him manage the world. We let Him take care of the results.- to continue -(From : THE KEY TO GOD'S HEART by R SAI) Visit : Sai Messages : http://saimessages.blogspot.com/ Sai Divine Inspirations : http://saidivineinspirations.blogspot.com/ Love Is My Form : http://loveismyform.blogspot.com/ (for non-Sai members) Got a little couch potato?
