Living in the Presence of God (Vol I/Pt I - 72)

[Guest guest]

CHAPTER 72

Stand on firm grounds and never move, even by the slightest, in any battle where you may be forced to sacrifice your principle. No! The principle of truth never compromises - neither for a friend nor for a mother - for the one who will truly love you will learn from truth and not be hurt by it. You

may carry the load of that which is unrighteous for the peace of another, but remember, this load will, one day, haunt your own peace, and will, one day, result in the restlessness of you and of all those around. Today, may be the day of the battle, but in a war you cannot fear, for there will be pain, there will be death, there will be blood, and there will be one that will be defeated and one that will taste sweet victory. You must not learn to take pity on the enemy, know that the pity, one day, will result in your own slaying, if you do not fight,

today. Remember, the one that is a coward will always shed tears of self pity, but you must realize that those tears, will one day, be the acid that will blind you in its attack. Stick to your chosen path, and do not wait for anyone to catch up to you - keep walking, and ignore the

temptation to turn to another path for someone else. Your strides must be confident, and let no one weaken the feet that carry you. The selfish

one who will threaten you to stop pursuing in your journey of truth, must, himself, be forced by your strength of perseverance to take his leave, forever. That one, can never be your friend and care taker, ever.

Know that as long as you will walk in the shadow of truth, it will take

away from you all throughout this journey of life, that which was deceitful, that which brought you pain of attachment and that which tempted you to leave the hand of God for him. The pain that truth will inflict upon you is only the medicine, which, with its bitterness, will heal the big wound of your own falsehood that you have just become accustomed to live with. Remember always, that you can only hurt another by being untruthful. The truth that may be harsh to speak, must be spoken with silence that will automatically speak of your disapproval. You must not agree, and you must not argue - for truth speaks with the eyes, with the

smile, with the peace and not with merely, the tongue. Truth will, eventually, convince the wicked, but until then, let it be your conviction, your weapon, your defense and your only language. The truth is for you to know, for you to believe and not for you to prove to all. Truth is the proof itself - not you, My dears! Learn, O child, that this wealth of righteousness is collected through several births, and you must not be ready to throw it away, carelessly, without a fight that uses all your strength, courage, and will. Know that when you will fight with the best of your abilities - the best will be none other than the Lord, Himself, who will announce to

be your very own commander-in-chief. You, My child, are only the best friend of that enemy when you fight for the truth. Believe Me, the victory may be yours, today, but once the enemy will realize that in this defeat lies their very own victory, that day, My sweet, you will find them to be your true friend. On that day, the battlefield will resound with the trumpets of victory on both sides, for one side has launched the truth and the other has followed it! - Divine Messages received and recorded by Mrs Seema M Dewan(Copyright reserved by the Author)
