WILL ONLY SILENCE....?

Such lines I pen

On My journey to You

Are only a beginning

At the start of the road.

They are the rantings

Of a restless mind,

Filled with ardour,

Hope and zest,

Vigour and the rest.

I wonder, - when

I am halfway through

Or near

The bend at the end

Will the mind pour forth

In sheen and gleen

Or will only

Silence reign!

Harvest

The new growth in the plant swelling agains the sheath, which at the same time imprisons and protects it, must still be the truest type of progress.

- Jane Addams 

Farmers know that before they reap a rich harvest, they must first plant seed and then care for their growing crops.  They know that this process does not happen overnight.  It takes time and patience.

I, too, give special attention to the blessings I wish to harvest, for the blessings I want most are ones such as love and understanding, health and well-being - blessings that will last a lifetime.

These and other blessings require time to take root and grow and mature in me and in others.  The nourishment for these seed-blessings comes from the eternal spirit of life within.  And then, in a time of harvest, the beauty of God's spirit shows forth as expressions of life, love and goodwill.

God provides a glorious harvest of blessings.

New Year

New year days come and go.  Of what use are they?  "Samvatsara" (the year) is one of the names of the Lord.  Every moment is new.  Why wait for a whole year to make the change in yourselves?  As long as you are caught up in worldly celebrations of New Year, Vaikunta Ekaadasi and the like, God will elude you.  You can realize God only when you forget the phenomenal world and the body consciousness.

(Sanathana Sarathi, February 1996, pg 32)

My Presence

HIS GLORY

The waving of the camphor flame at the end of the bhajan sessions is to remind you that your sensual cravings must be burnt away without leaving any trace behind, and you must offer yourself to God for being merged with His Glory.

(SSS Vol VI – Chap 23)

MESSAGE 13

Patience is not a “resentful wait” for the desirable to happen…patience is that strength in which a desireful mind holds hands with God and in that companionship God teaches the mind to resist its burning desires, witness its resentments and pass to a higher state of thinking.

Patience is not passing the time…it is O child the “passing away” of the mind.

We must learn to wait. And while we wait, we must realize that when we have given up our plans and surrendered to Him it is then only that we shall see that His plan was always before us… our desires… our anxiety and that our doubts simply had made that picture so faded.

Should we fear when we are patient? Should we check on His ways? Should we ask Him for a ‘clue’? Or should we just bear our minds until time slowly takes it away?

Wait! Wait! His gifts shall come…they were always there. For us to see His Grace our hearts and mind must become one!

Everything shall come to you…but only when we are ripe. Be patient, for God has declared, “I alone walk with the patient man. While he waits, I do. While he forgets his desires, I remember his welfare. While he is grateful for whatever he receives, I give him the very best! I alone walk with the patient man…I alone do…I only ask him to wait!Part of the book: 'Inspiring Thoughts'

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.

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)
