Living in the Presence of God (Vol I/Pt I - 46)



CHAPTER 46


You must exercise strict disciplinary controls over your behavioral patterns. Evil temptations lie ahead at every step of the worldly life. You must walk, avoiding each lure, constantly keeping alert for every trap that is set, only to imprison and suffocate you.


The gifts the world may present to you, today, may seem pleasurable temporarily, but remember, whatever the world may offer, it will only in the end, take back the strengths of the self, making you weaker and enclosing you in a circle of passions and desires. The mind must be trained to accept all without being affected, and let the words "not mine" constantly resound for every worldly possession and desirable attachment. Develop an immunity and tolerance to the ways of the world, and speak not ill of those who have spent their lives building their houses of gold, and in it, lost their own identities, sold their hearts, and have smeared their minds with the black paint of illusions and unrealities. Those you must forgive, who inflict the pain of their own destruction on you. Those you must tolerate and accept, who fear the power of goodness and continue to choose and escape out the easy way. Those you must give a "second chance", who have failed to see God in themselves and in you. Those you must love and never resent, who have never tasted the sweetness of love, and who have offered you only the bitterness of their constant failures. Yes! All those you must forgive, accept, welcome, and love! All those you must tolerate, ignore, encourage, and strengthen. Move on, My dears, and forgive them for their ignorance, accept them for their faults, and welcome and love even their divine energies that remain hidden and unused. Tolerate their sense of differences, ignore their personal attacks, encourage them to rise and change, and strengthen them by rebuilding their faiths with unconditional love, making no exceptions - only by saying "yes" to them. Learn to say "Yes" - say "Yes", and save them all! Those who have fallen in this puddle of mud must be made to rise, cleaned, and changed to new. With the strengths of your own examples, show them that the self never falls, never stains, and never fails. With the strength of your own examples, show them that goodness is always the truth, the right and the God. Show the world, My sweet, that love always conquers, love only sacrifices, and love will only attract God - "to you", at all times, in every place. The world will see, and one day, it will follow. It will learn its lesson of God, it will resound with the words of truth, and it will awaken with a new dawn, with a brighter promise - one day it will - but until then, let that one day be your today and our tomorrow.

O LORD, TAKE MY LOVE

O Lord, take my love, and let it flow in fullness of devotion to Thee;
O Lord, take my hands, and let them work incessantly for Thee;
O Lord, take my soul, and let it be merged in One with Thee;
O Lord, take my mind and thoughts, and let them be in tune with Thee;
O Lord, take my everything, and let me be an instrument to work for Thee.
