God-Power

It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.

- Agnes Repplier


If I have ever tried to rev up my will power in order to start or stop doing something, I have probably learned that there are times when it seems like the more I try, the more difficult it becomes.

Although I may be willing to give up on myself, I know that God will never give up on me.  So I call on God-power.  When I am trying to control my habits or any of my behaviours, I am saying that they have the power to control me.  The truth is that God is the one power, and with God moving through me as the power to stop something negative or start something positive, I will be successful.

I am more than equal to whatever it is I desire to accomplish.  I am because God is the power that not only sparks my will but also constantly recharges it.


God is the supreme power that sparks my will be be successful.


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

Q485

What is the right thing to be asked in prayer from God?



Our devotion and prayer to God should not be for the sole purpose of obtaining something or fulfilling some desire of ours. This should be for the sake of Atma or for the sake of becoming one with the Lord.

(Summer Showers 1974, pg 176)

Man Today

Man today has forgotten his true nature and looks upon the world entirely 
through the senses and the mind.

(Gems of Wisdom, Spiritual Level, pg 260)

Confusion

GEM 705

Reduce desire, evict the ego, eject anger, and the mind will be your slave instead of being your master.  Prema (love) is the master key which can achieve all this.

Sai Darshan 1 (Universal) - Part 1 - 22

I respond to any form you love or find Me in.
I do not discriminate.
Come to find Me
Through whichever form you love most,
And you will see Me.
I am present
In each and every atom of this universe,
And many, many more.
Any basis of creation, living or nonliving,
Is but My form.
You are surrounded with Me,
But you are unaware of it.
Winter has gone and Spring has come.
Sow your seeds of devotion early,
And enjoy a good harvest.


From : 'Sai Darshan' - Part I
(Divine Messages received and recorded by Mrs Seema M Dewan)

One Universal Entity

You must realize that the Divine current that flows and functions in every living being is the One Universal Entity.  When you desire to enter the Mansion of God, you are confronted by two closed doors - the desire to praise yourself and the desire to defame others.  The doors are bolted by envy and there is also the huge lock of egoism preventing entry.  So, if you are earnest, you have to resort to the key of prema (love) and open the lock; then remove the bolt and throw the doors wide open.  The education must train you in the difficult operation.

(Sathya Sai Speaks, Vol X, pg 85)

Scholar Of Truth

GEM 704

Real peace of mind has no ups and down; it cannot be partial in adversity and whole in prosperity.

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

Every Moment

Appreciate every moment as it comes...

For that is what Life is all about,

We experience the presence of God in all forms,

both within and without...
