Living in the Presence of God (Vol I/Pt I - 52)



CHAPTER 52


Where does true satisfaction lie? What are the boundaries of satisfaction? True satisfaction does not definitely lie in the fulfillment of your worldly desires. The limits to desires are endless, forgoing peace, contentment, and discrimination, for the more you receive, your desires will only bind you from reaching out to the territory of God.


The human, today, wakes up each day with the pangs of hunger - not that of food, but the hunger of greed. The "wants" are taking a turn to addiction, making them your "needs", and these "desirable needs" have made you a discontented soul that only aspires to "receive more", "steal more" and "grab more". Your prayers to Me have become a mere "wish list", and upon not receiving, you blame Me to be uncharitable and only partial to your so-called competitors, that have become your reason of envy. You seem to know what is best for you, especially, when you see others possess these short-term pleasures. Even if you were to conquer all the worldly riches, would that make you desire any less? No! For the one that is richest in this world, has more attachments to give up, has more ego to destroy, has no rest and no peace, has more fears of every discomfort he may face, has no friends, has a family that only expects favors and demands from him, and lastly, but not the least, he does not know that God cannot be bought and cannot ever be valued.


Let not "money" become your power, for when this power will fail, one day - and know that, that one day will come soon, then life to you will be only humiliation, and all that this power bought you will only become your weakness, without which, you will not be able to live. Let this evil of money not become your "time", your "judgment", and your "love"; instead, make love your only judgment and your only way to spend time. Know that when all in the world in unreal, then all that you conquer and possess in this world is bound to fade away and is destined to say its goodbye. Do not live to weep for that moment, but instead, prepare yourselves to successfully live that moment without the least regret or sorrow of attachment.


All must go - including you in this life, then why run this race that starts on "want", and ends to start again on "wanting more"! Desire is the snake that will spread its venom slowly to the mind, and a poisoned mind will live its life only in the shadows of death - the death of the conscience, and one more life, yet lived, without God!

O LORD, TAKE MY LOVE

O Lord, take my love, and let it flow in fullness of devotion to Thee;
O Lord, take my hands, and let them work incessantly for Thee;
O Lord, take my soul, and let it be merged in One with Thee;
O Lord, take my mind and thoughts, and let them be in tune with Thee;
O Lord, take my everything, and let me be an instrument to work for Thee.

About My Work

Loving Sai Rams to everyone.... Welcome to our non-profit spiritual blog which celebrates the universal teachings of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba in inspirational forms of art and literature.

About Me

After almost 20 years of active seva (service) - creating and sharing graphic art inspired by Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba - I now find myself in a quieter space of inward reflection. The urge to constantly 'do' has gently dissolved into simply 'being'. This Sai Divine Inspirations page in Blogspot will continue to share Swami's love and messages through scheduled posts as long as the platform exists, but my role has shifted from outward expression to silent presence. I remain deeply devoted, but will be less visible in the spiritual community. May these offerings of love from my heart continue to inspire, uplift, and serve all... as they were always meant to. All is His will. All is His work. All is His Love. Om Sai Ram and May Swami bless everyone... With Much Gratitude, adeline108
