God's Grace
Self efforts and Grace are interdependent. Without one, the other is impossible.
A true devotee is one who takes everything as God’s will, both good and bad. In reality, there is nothing bad for him …. ….Everything is seen as good and beautiful for a true devotee because, for him, all is God, so there is nothing to hate. When you constantly remember God, forgetting all about the world, you will attain peace and self-contentment. Consider life and everything that happen in life as gift from God, All true devotees have this attitude. When the presence of divinity fills your entire life you will be in the present. Until then, you live either in the past or in the future. Today’s friend may be tomorrow’s foe. The only friend whom we can ever trust and take refuge in is God. If you want eternal and everlasting bliss, the path to God is available, but has to work hard. Children, even if one does penance for many lives, God-realization is not possible if one has no yearning and pure love for him. Pride and conceit will only destroy us. Live with the firm attitude, ‘I am everyone’s servant’. Then the whole universe will bow down to us. To deny the existence of God is like using the tongue to say, ‘I have no tongue’ Surrender all actions to God and let His will prevail in everything. When we think that God is with us, all our burdens will be lessened. Once we have entered a boat or bus, why should we continue to carry the luggage? Put it down. Dedicate everything to God, He will protect us. If but once we take refuge in God, there is nothing to fear. God will look after everything. Children, do not forget God. Remember Him and pray to Him even in times of happiness. If we take refuge in God, we will attain Him and everything we need. We will not be lacking in anything. He will meet both our spiritual and material needs. Devotion to God will bring prosperity to us, to our families and to society. Children, pray for good of everything. We should pray to God to give a good mind even to those who harm us. Usually, people remember God and pray to Him only when they are in pain, as if God were a pain killer. Do not be that way …. .. Let prayer and remembrance of God become part of your daily life. Crying to God for five minutes is equal to one hour of meditation. Desires for things will not rise up once love for God arises. Attachment to other things will automatically decrease. The wind of God’s Grace cannot lift us if we are carrying the weight of desires and ego. The load should be reduced. The ego should be destroyed. Otherwise liberation is not possible. The ego can be removed through devotion. With devotion the attitude ‘I am God’s servant’ will come. |
