GEM 730

When thoughts are reduced, the mind naturally comes under control, like a clock that is unwound.

Sai Darshan, Part 2 - 49

When a white paint is added to a black paint,
The black lightens to a dark grey.
When more white is added to the dark grey,
It turns to a lighter shade of grey.
As more white is added, the black in it diminishes,
And it comes to a point, the black becomes white.
In the same way, consider Me to be the white paint,
And you being the black paint.
With every little of Me added to you,
Your dark karmas begin to lessen,
And your true nature slowly begins to reveal.
The more you add Me into your life,
The impurity diminishes,
Leaving you more pure each time.
At a point, all the black will be transformed to white.
And all the "Myness" will merge into the "Oneness".

A Good Doctor

Science

One must give a shape to one's life in such a way that one earns the grace of God.  We should follow a sacred path.  Having been born, we should do all that is necessary to see that we are not born again.  When we meet our death, we should not meet it a second time.  This is indeed the secret of man's life.  But today, in man's life to the extent to which the knowledge of science has grown, to that extent the strength of man has become less.  As science has progressed, the sense that is present in human beings has become less and less.  What you call Science can give you material pleasure but it cannot give you any bliss of self.  Spirituality leads you to the aspect of completeness.  Every human being must realize this completeness of the total knowledge contained in spirituality.

Be Happy - 26

 

God Blesses Me

Were there no God, we would be in this glorious world with grateful hearts and no one to thank.

- Christina Rossetti

God, You are the source of my life, of all life, and I give thanks that Your love for me has no limits or bounds.

Every time I look around, I appreciate Your abundance and a multitude of my blessings become evident to me.  No matter where I go, I am always surrounded by Your presence.

You bless me with love - love that fills me and flows out from me to others through a gentle smile, a kind gesture, a friendly word of encouragement.

You bless me with hope - hope that is made even stronger by my faith in Your unfailing presence.  In all that I do, God, I am prosperous, and I give thanks to You.

God showers me with blessing upon blessing.

Living in the Presence of God (Vol I/Pt I - 59)

CHAPTER 59


Make the Lord your only reason to think, your inspiration to speak, and your only motivation to act. You must face every change in life staying unchanged, knowing fully, that each change will introduce its own beginning and will only grow to meet its own end. You must be like the wind that gushes its speed along with the thunderous storms, and silently drops its flow, when the storm has cleared.


Attachments are only bound, one day, to change their course. This "binding love", will, one day, inflict upon you its pain of separation. The reality remains that changes are boundless, it is you that fears and stays resistant, bound by selfish love and inexhaustible desires. Learn, My dears, to leave behind that which has walked with you for only a few paces in your life. The child holds the hands of his mother, yet this same child grows to be a young man, will say his sweet good-byes to his mother, and then hold the hand of his beloved for the next part of the journey. Do not obsess and create within your fears of insane love - such kind of insanity results in possessiveness, envy, and jealousy. Each part of life will share with you its own beauty - give in fully, enjoy it to its fullest, and then learn to move on. Remember that you are a traveler who is only seeking temporary refuge - do not let this journey break by your weakness of wanting to stay longer. Your needs will change at every part of the journey - do not make the needs of yesterday, your addictions of today.


All must go, and believe Me, all 'will' go - only God will remain. When you know that to be your end, then you must start at the beginning of your lives, preparing to meet this end. The preparation must be that of God being your only need, your only attachment, your only yearning and your only beloved. All within will be satisfied, O sweet, when "He" becomes the need, all within will be content, when "He" attaches to you; all desires will meet with a response, when "He" is only what you yearn for, and all the love you feel and live to meet will take His form, to give even more and more of you.


The knowledge of accepting change will only come, when you have accepted the real you to be "changeless". The strength to rise with every change will only come, when you have risen beyond the stage of being tied with the ropes of "time". Change is only finite - limited by the parameters of time, but you must know and grow to find that the reality of life that exists in you is infinite and can never be withheld by the hands of the clock. Limitations of change will affect you, only because you have chosen to remain in the ignorance of the self. Once you remain to stay constant, every change will then appear to you as a new way of meeting God's love in another form and at all times. The one hope, one strength, one friend. Yes! One answer to all your changes - God!
