Beloved 40

Beloved,

Within the rich fields of your soul, I have sown the seeds of your divine potential.  Love will nourish these seeds, and faith will sustain them.

You are My creation, and My spirit is within you.  Your eyes twinkle with the joy of My presence.  Your actions convey self-confidence and creativity.

Experience is your teacher, My beloved.  Take what you discover each day and build upon it - relying on the wisdom you receive from Me.  I will satisfy your thirst for knowledge, for I am the answer to all your needs.

"O God, you are my God, I seek you, my soul thirsts for you."

- Psalm 63:1

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

YOUR VERY OWN GIFT

These lines flow out

From me -

And through my pen

Effortlessly,

Endlessly,

Like a dam - released,

Or a mid summer breeze

That knows no end,

With not the slightest trace

Of fear or doubt.

They surf up

With the least little

Thought of You.

Such is Your Very Own

Gift to me!

In the deepest depth

Of my heart

You slumber.

From there -

You render these

In numbers,

And they all go out

To You!

Verily, t' is You Yourself

Writing lines

To You!

MESSAGE 11

Be aware of this truth at all times in every place, for He Himself has spoken these words...

“Never fear for whatever happens is simply My will…nothing more…nothing less. Whatever is to come…a thunderous storm or a ray of light like that of dawn…in both I alone walk with you taking care of you moment to moment all the way. And if you were to speak to Me alone sharing with Me your heart in joy and the tears of sorrow then that faith I shall accept as My only food and give you O child a life of protection with wisdom and love as your weapon and armor.

I respond instantly when you have made Me reside within your very Self. In a pure mind I alone think as peace. My devoted ones are seldom agitated by changes or desires. They are focused only upon Me, and whatever may happen in external circumstances their inner core remains pure, calm and still.

I have no beginning and no end…My Grace is endless with no boundaries. You become aware of Me the moment you adopt a sincere and truthful life immersed in duty and love. I am the very breath of that. After tasting My truth nothing ever will be sweet to you…and even if for a moment you drown in temporary pleasures, you O child shall realize its shamefulness and will quickly return to true ways.

Never give up. Maddening thoughts are to be left alone. Pray and surrender their burden upon My feet. Talk to Me…the moment fear arises and begins its monologue turn and talk to Me. You must…let that be your sadhana (devotional practice)…you must talk until its voice drowns in the faith of your prayers. I am listening…I am responding…I am guiding…I am protecting…

Never fear for whatever happens is simply My will…that alone shall free you…nothing more…nothing less!”Be aware of this truth at all times in every place, for He Himself has spoken.

GEM 674

You will get millions to tell you what is pleasing to you, but it is difficult to get one in a million who can tell you what is good for you.

Simpleness Of Purity

Ponder Over This

Everyday from morning till night, you spend your life in merely earning the means of your livelihood.  What great happiness have you attained by employing your skill and education in only filling your stomach forgetting the lotus-eyed Lord?  O man! Ponder over this with deep regard.

(Summer Showers 1979, pg 70)

Q473

We worship God in the form of idols, but cannot see their physical forms. Do these forms really exist? If so, why cannot we see these forms?



Since ancient times, man has been accustomed to worshipping God in the form of idols. You worship Rama and Krishna in the form of idols. But can you see their physical forms now? No. You worship Easwara. But are you able to see Him? The forms of Rama, Krishna, Easwara are ever existing. But man is not able to visualize them because of his narrow-mindedness. One should always be broad minded. You find divinity installed in the heart of one with expansive feelings.

(SSS Vol 35, pg 195-196)

GEM 673

You should inhale good feelings which are like oxygen and exhale bad feelings which are like poisonous carbon-dioxide.

Perfect

Spiritual Preceptor

A guru is a spiritual preceptor.  He transmits wisdom to his disciple.  His duty ends there.  It is the disciple's duty to receive and respond to his master's spiritual wisdom.  He must put into practice what he has learned.  A guru is like a "guide-post" in the highway.  He shows the path to the disciple.  A sign-post indicates the road to be followed, but does not indicate anything about the ups and downs and the pitfalls on the road.  It is the traveler's duty to beware of all pitfalls and obstacles on the road.

(Summer Showers 1979, pg 67)
