Guest guest Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Thus Spake The Lord Life is a pilgrimage, where man drags his feet along the rough and thorny road. With the Name of God on his lips, he will have no thirst; with the Form of God in his heart, he will feel no exhaustion. The company of the holy will inspire him to travel in hope and faith. The assurance that God is within call, that He is ever near, will lend strength to his limbs and courage to his eye. Remember that with every step, you are nearing God; and God too, takes ten steps towards you when you take one step towards Him. There is no stopping place in this pilgrimage; it is one continuous journey, through day and night; through valley and desert; through tears and smiles; through death and birth; through tomb and womb. When the road ends, and the Goal is gained, the pilgrim finds that he has traveled only from himself to Himself, that the way was long and lonesome, but the God that led him unto it was all the while in him, around him, with him and beside him! He himself was always Divine. His yearning to merge in God was but the sea calling to the Ocean! Man loves, because He is Love! He craves for melody and harmony, because He is Melody and Harmony. He seeks joy, for He is Joy. He thirsts for God, for he is composed of God, and he cannot exist without Him. Reference: Sathya Sai Speaks, Vol. VIII, Chapter 9.
