Pearl 18

As long as you worship the Lord with form, you use certain flowers such as roses, marigolds and jasmines, although the body that performs worship and the flowers which you use are all impermanent.  But, if you want to worship the formless God in your heart, then the flowers you use are different.  They are flowers of non-violence, of love and compassion, of charity and sacrifice.  To elevate yourself to the formless principle, you will have to cultivate these flowers of your heart and use them in your worship.  Then, you will experience the ineffable and permanent joy of the spirit.

Enduring Bliss

Science can offer only temporary worldly comforts; 
spirituality alone can give you enduring bliss.

(Gems of Wisdom, Spiritual Level, pg 260)

The Best Moment... The Moment Of Faith

The Best Moment....

The Moment of Faith!

A person that is at peace will experience a surge of energy within him constantly....... Fatigue is a result of not from what one does........... It is a result of one’s resistance to one’s Self while conducting the task............ Place yourself in God’s strength........... Accept moment to moment His Will........... Remember of His love for you and that being the focus conduct your day to day work without laying before Him any conditions and challenges............... There is no moment that is a difficult moment

.............. You call it difficult only because you are unprepared for what is before you........... The mind has a tendency to decide and plan........... But that planning is only done by the mind from what it sees before it and from the memory of its past experiences................. However that planning can never be absolute and is always subject to change............. The moment you become dependent on the mind’s plan then God’s Will becomes a source of fear to you............... You feel your security lies in your knowing moment to moment.............. You wish that God would let you know all in advance and you call that faith........... FAITH IS REALIZING GOD’S STRENGTH.................. ACCEPTING GOD’S WILL........... AND UTILIZING HIS LOVE THAT FLOWS EACH MOMENT FROM WITHIN YOU............... Your security lies in your faith in God............ Wait in love and devotion............ Wait in peace and calmness.......... Wait in equal mindedness and Self-confidence............ Wait............. For God to say to you..... When......... How.......... And where!!

Joy Of Spirit

Joy is your gift from God, and it is not dependent on what occurred 10 years ago, a month ago, yesterday, or last night.

- Mary L Kupferle

In as little as one day, I may experience many kinds of joy.  The joy I feel when I see a loved one brings an immediate smile to my face.  Or I may burst into laughter when I see or hear something funny.

And there is another kind of joy for me to experience as well - an inner joy that moves through my mind and body from the spirit of God within me.  The intensity of such gladness is unmistakable, but also indescribable.

My whole body is engulfed by the joy of spirit, because I am aware of my own spirituality.  Out of that joy, a new me is born.

The joy of spirit revives me and enlivens me.  It is as if the spirit of God has touched every cell of my body and awakened each one to the joy of living.  I am whole!  I am a holy being filled with the joy of God!

The joy of spirit enlivens me now!

(From : 'Daily Word' magazine by Silent Unity, a world wide prayer ministry) 

GEM 782

The body is one encasement, the country is another, for the spirit of man.  Use society for your uplift, try to shape society so that it will help the uplift of individuals and not turn them away from God.

(From : Garland of 1008 Gems, Bhagawan Shri Sathya Sai Baba's Sayings)

LET MY TEARS BE

One little tearlet

Is much too small

- to shed for You

I am cast with shame

As I place it -

A Gift - At Your Feet!

O Lord,

let my arid desert heart

be bathed - in gushing

Torrents

Of tears welling

From a heart so throbbing

In love for You!

Let my tears that you lovingly wipe,

Be that - of a child -

Lost and in search for

The mother;

Then finding her - always there,

Cries his heart with joy!

(By : Dr Vasantha Nair, Blossoming Love) 

MESSAGE 18

When we give too much importance to a thought, we unknowingly start to live that thought. That results in you splitting yourself in two worlds. One world that is in our mind…that others cannot see, but to you it exists because you have given a part of yourself in that illusionary world. In the other world again there is a part of yourself that is without your dream trying to face reality, and in that world you witness the dreams of other minds and realize how real it is to them. To the one you, the illusionary dream that is in your mind is real and yet to the other you, the illusionary dreams in the other‘s mind is only a thought and quite unreal.

Yet you want your dream and at the same time you are convincing the other of their dream to be only an illusion in their mind. When one splits himself in these two worlds and defends his ignorance yet exposes the ignorance of another such a one will be lead by both emotion on one hand and intellect on the other. When emotion and intellect work both together it results in a mental condition often called “stress”.

Stress is an unnecessary reworking of the mind.

Stress is thinking much more than one can willingly do.

Stress is reasoning that is shocked in emotion.

Stress is the refusal of giving up an attachment…yet willingly giving up your Self.

Stress is the childish denial of facing the present.

Stress is the conflict between reasoning and desire…and where desire wins!

Stress is being constantly anxious of time and timely events.

Before your nature becomes to stress catch your thought that you are giving too much unnecessary importance to. Catch it before it catches you and takes you on a horrible journey in which you may have to fight your own reasoning…ignore your own conscience…give up your self-reliance and then in return gain temporarily only to lose your own sanity permanently.

Do not stress. Nothing is worth so much thought that you lose the awareness of your own well being!When you follow the rules of the Higher Self'automatically one inspirational thought will lead you to the task.If a task is demanding you to think intensely,immediately realize that the 'I' has found its way before the Divine principle.Part of the book: 'Inspiring Thoughts'
