The Mission of Love

The Mission of Love

The Power of Faith...

And The Will of God...

Inspirational writings of Seema M Dewan

God is the vision 

Of love, love, love,

God is the power 

Of faith that never ends,

God is the effort 

Of goodness and kindness,

God is the heart 

Of the pure,

God is the limbs 

Of the fearless, 

God is the joy 

Of the ever grateful soul,

God is the breath

Of the selfless warrior of values, 

And God is the life 

Of the beloved that gives his life 

To His mission of love...

Destiny is the time behind which the cowardly mind hides... God's will is the declaration of the soul itself. There is no difference between the effort of the fearless, devoted soul and the grace of God. Both are one. The work that carries pure intent accomplishes everything instantaneously. 

Karma is the bag that the doubtful mind carries with faith. That mind has more faith of the difficulties to come than the inner strength to arise. Misery can not touch you if you are touched by God's presence within you. If you are filled with God's will-power, nothing will come in your way. Success begins when you say "Yes" first to yourself... When you say "no," the whole cosmos echoes your negativity and takes you to your failure. 

Self confidence can never be received by an outside source. It is called self confidence for the simple reason that you are the master, the educator, the guide, the servant, and the sustainer of your will power. God's will is not a separate energy that has to reach you from a distance. The moment you undertake a pure task upon your hands, the purity of the task will create the divine love to accomplish it. That is the unity between God and the soul. Both are one. The mergence of both declares success, success, success...

Be happy always. Happiness is the power of God's presence within. It generates good thoughts. The waves of happiness gives one the focus to be patient. Do not beg anyone to give you anything. You are the master. The moment you offer yourself to the mission of the good, you will reach the finish line. You do not need another’s favors to uplift you. Lift yourself. Be free of wanting everything quickly without any pain. Pain is the instrument that sharpens the dull mind... the lazy mind... the selfish mind... Bear pain with equal mindedness and fortitude. You will emerge with a character of gold.

Don’t criticize and blame others when you fall. You fall because you weakened. You hold yourself with your choices. No one else can push you. Self confidence is born when you have the guts to be truthful to yourself. You have to not only know your weaknesses. That is not enough. Simply saying "I am this" and "that" does not make you pure. You have to erase the marks of the weakness upon your mind by creating thoughts of love and determination. You have to be determined not to follow the weak, selfish, and greedy thoughts. You have to replace those thoughts with the thoughts of giving patience, humility, and kindness. You have practice this not for one moment. Not for one day. Not for a few years. But endlessly. You cannot gloat about the efforts you make to others. If you do that you will weaken again... Be free of receiving praise from anyone. You should know your progress. Your path. Your resolve. Be silent. That silence is your strength and guide. 

You are filled and bathing in Gods energy. The moment you are aware of yourself to be filled with Him, you will rise above all difficulties. The weak mind weeps like the victim that has been oppressed by God. The silly notion that God punishes, God judges, God takes away, and God turns His back to His children makes one spend his life in the poverty of mistakes and failures. You are judging yourself... you are punishing yourself... you are hurting yourself... and you are denying yourself. Say yes to yourself and Gods glorious presence will shine in you, above you, below you, and around you. 

Spend each waking moment talking to God. Talk to Him while you work, eat, rest, and sleep. Plan everything with love being the main and only ingredient. Take all your worries and place them in to His hands. Say to God, "O Beloved One that fills this whole universe, I am not going to carry the thoughts that take you away from my sight. Why should I fear when Your love is guiding my breath? What past is there when I am Yours, and You are mine? As long as I am aware of You, all will be well. All is well. I am Your will... I have no fate. The power of Your love in me is everything. My life is Your mission. My breath is Your love. My effort is Your will. My faith is Your presence. Nothing can come in my way..."

Pearl 21

Your country and your body are not different from each other.  Both are composed of the same five elements.  They are inseparably interrelated and totally interdependent.  They are like mirror images of each other.  Try to recognize this truth.  The youth of today are the leaders of the future.  If the future is to be prosperous, the modern youth should perform their duties with firm faith in God.  You are not separate from the country, but a part of it.  Have the firm conviction that this country belongs to you.  One who does not say with pride, this is my motherland, this is my mother tongue, this is my religion can be compared to a living corpse.  Every person, whichever country he may belong to, should have patriotism firmly ingrained in his heart.

GEM 828

Do not become slaves of low desires and feelings.  Make spirituality as your dwelling place.

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

YOU ARE - MY FRIEND!

The other day,

I saw

Your picture

Not of a mother or father

But of a Lord and Master -

Governing -

All heaven and earth;

Such Majesty and Power

There in!

Ever so often

I spoke

So lightly,

So fearlessly,

Openly -

To You - My only friend!

Now - this facet,

Inspiring awe and wonder

Struck my depths!

Yet, O Lord

O Master of the Universe

Whatever be

it cannot change - !

To me -

YOU ARE - 'MY FRIEND'

Beauty

Spirit Of Sacrifice

The hands of the clock keep on moving and we hear their ticking noise.  This sound of the clock goes on continuously.  Between one tick and another, there is an interval.  Man's life is also like this interval.  Through man's heart and through his blood vessels, his life stream is beating; this beat will come to an end at some time.  Truly, birth is followed by death and death again by birth and so on.

We should try and understand the secret of this life.  Like a man who is swimming and moving forward in a river, we should also forget the experiences through which we have gone in the past and swim forward.  Only if the swimmer throws back the water which is ahead of him will he move forward.  If he does not throw back the water that is ahead of him, he will stay where he is.  As in this analogy, only if man attempts to throw back the experience which he has gone through, will he be able to move forward.  If one follows such a path, one will find that in man's life, there is no place for anger, no place for jealousy and his life will move on pleasantly.

Because man wants to go through the same experience which he has already experienced in the past, he enters the region of hatred, because he accumulates around him many attachments.  If man really makes an attempt to understand his own nature and the comparison between the clock and his heart, it will be possible for him to experience truth.  Even after experiencing so many things, if man does not understand his true nature, he will feel very unhappy.  He wants always to be happy, but not ask the question whether one can get happiness in this world?

Man has great faith in collecting, acquiring and amassing wealth, but he has not got the same faith in giving and sacrificing.  When man can develop faith and recognizes the joy of giving away and of sharing things, he will enjoy his life.  If man really wants peace and happiness, he must be prepared to sacrifice.  The Vedas have told us that what cannot be acquired through hard work, through learning, through any other means can only be acquired through sacrifice.  We should also understand the inner meaning of sacrifice.

If the food we eat is not excreted out and is not sacrificed, our health will be spoiled.  If we do not exhale the air that we take in and send it out, our lungs will get spoiled.  If the blood does not keep moving but stays at one place, then there will be a boil at that place.

It is necessary for us to recognize the happiness that is contained in the spirit of sacrifice.  But man always wants to have the same experience again and again every day before he learns a lesson and because of such bad desires, man has become so unfortunate that he cannot even have a peaceful death not to talk of a peaceful life.  If man wants to lead a peaceful life, he must realize the importance of sacrifice.  The truth that is contained in the statement, that immortality can be obtained through sacrifice alone should be understood well.

MESSAGES 21

Our greatest responsibility in life is to keep our own minds in continuous check. If that is done then all your responsibilities will be conducted with selflessness. Then a selfless task that is conducted in the absence of fear is no more a responsibility but a “simple joy”.

We are all so fearful of doing our own duty in the right way…at the right time…to the right person…with the right attitude…with the right effort…with the right gains. Mixed in all these fears we may conduct the task physically…but not with the right love!

Transformation is not too far away, if you are willing to see and accept your self as truth.

If you have chosen the path of truth do not look back as to how much you have already walked…do not look ahead and see how much of the way is left. Look at each present step you take…be stable in it. Each step of truth is complete. It is not measured like distance. Truth is in reality only one step. You feel you have taken many steps only because each time you landed on truth you broke more of the “I” and the same step appeared to you different each time. The step O child was the same…it was only the I that had differed, and hence the illusion of taking many steps of truth. In reality there was only one truth…one step…no time…no past…no present…no future except the I that marched on the step of truth with its many faces!Part of the book: 'Inspiring Thoughts'

PRAY FOR OTHERS

"In prayer, I affirm that my loved ones are being blessed."

Loved ones can seem to have such serious needs that I may wonder if their needs can be resolved. How then do I pray? I pray with them and for them, affirming that they are being blessed:

"God, I pray for my loved ones and affirm that they are being blessed. I do not know what is best for them, but I know that You do. You are everywhere present. Therefore, Your healing, guiding, prospering presence is with my loved ones."

"You are with and within my loved ones right now. Your life sets into motion healing of mind, body, and emotions. You guide and prosper them in ways far and above the very best I can imagine. I give thanks that You are healing and guiding my loved ones right now."

"If two of you agree on earth about anything you ask,

it will be done for you by my Father in heaven."

- Matthew 18:19
