THE KEY TO GOD'S HEART (Chapter 5)(Para 3)

How do we love a being that does not have a form? How do we love an entity that is not concretely before one, visible? How can we love something we don't understand? We can see the people we love, our parents, children and friends, but we cannot see God. How to generate love, create love, a physical feeling, a loving emotion for this God. How can we have feeling for a being that is as thin as air, subtler than space, invisible? The answer is to give Him a form - imagine a form, envision a form. Concretise Him either in physical or subtle forms. Choose and visualize a form you prefer and concentrate upon that one form only. To love the formless is near impossible but give God a visual appearance, a physical representation and one can generate this love. Look at, see the form and think of the form, imagine the form, reflect on the form. Observe each feature of the face, hands, feet and hair - this is how to create love. Soon that form will appear more beautiful and radiant, the very form of beauty itself. Develop self-confidence. Then, love will follow. It will come naturally, from within. In this way, the love will be pure.

Man And Nature

There is no basic conflict between man and nature.  Man is entitled to enjoy the fruits of nature even as a child is entitled to the mother's milk or a bee to suck the honey in a flower.  The creation is greater than mankind.  It is humanity's privilege to understand the secrets of creation.  Man should also seek to know the relationship between creator and creator.

His Form

Beloved 45

Beloved,

You will know many people throughout your life.  Some will be a part of your circle of family and friends for a lifetime, others for just a short time.  However long they are with you, each of these people has the capacity to bless you.

Recognize the blessings that they are by looking beyond appearances to the roles these people have played in your life story.  Some will be examples for you to learn by, while others will serve as companions.

I have created a vast and diverse world, and all of My creations serve a purpose - just as you do.  You are all in this time and this place for a reason - because I love and care for each and every one of you.

"It is the spirit that gives life... The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life."

- John 6:63

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

Q501

In what other way are the Lord's Feet glorious ?



The Lord's Feet are glorious in many ways.  But, they will confer blessings only if they are sought with real faith.  The Lord's Feet contain the Divine insignia of Shankha (conch) and Chakra (discus).  The conch symbolises Shabda Brahman (the Cosmic Divine Sound).  The discus represents the Wheel of Time.  The Sound and Time together represent the different cosmic aspects of the Lord.  The entire universe originated from Sound vibrations.  These vibrations are related to Time : Sound and Time are inter-dependent.
