HAND YOURSELF OVER TO GOD

"If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent Him", said
Voltaire. The question arises: What sort of a God do we want ? The vast
majority of men and women want God who is a sort of a store-keeper ready to
supply them all those things for which they send in a requisition -- the
wealth of the world, its pleasures and power.
So long as God gives them what they want, God is good. God is loving,
God is wise, and there is none like unto Him. But the moment He refuses to
oblige, He becomes a cruel God, unjust and unkind. His very existence is
questioned or denied.
The God for the majority of us is a "servant", God ready to do our
bidding, eager to satisfy our cravings and caprices the moment they arise.
In plain words, we do not want God's Will to be done. What we desire is
that our will should be done. And the more I succeed in the doing of my
will, the more restless do I grow, the more unhappy and miserable. It is
only God's Will that can restore harmony and order. Until I learn to submit
to the Will of God, even if I reach out to the moon and conquer the stars, I
shall but continue to wander from restlessness to restlessness.

Follow the path of Ahimsa

Thou are not supposed to think harm of anyone. "Ahimsa" should be followed in thoughts too. Read "Lord Mahavira" in Jainism. Follow the Teachings of "Jesus Christ" - All are thy brethren. Love all. Assimilate the Teachings of "Lord Buddha" - complete your "Karma", follow the middle path to attain "Nirvana". What then is thy destiny? Is it not the bloom of what we have thought till now? We pray and ask God! Why burden the Lord again.

Pray to be forgiven for deeds unknowingly committed. Love thy profession. Devotedly win the affection of your employer. You can never be a slave except within your own mind. Poverty is within. World is full of pearls and diamonds. Pray to Lord to grant thy wisdom to understand truth. Pearls for wise are stones brightly polished. Poor perceive it as richness. Be rich in understanding. When you abandon this earthly garb of your Human form, you assimilate with the unknown. You are one amongst the dust. What value is of richness?

Live a Life of content. Understand thyself. "God is within". Do not tire your body. You will miss all that is rich. You need not climb Mount Everest or go to the Moon. Feel them wherever you are. Beauty is all around. The night sky! Did you ever watch the night beauty created by the unknown? The amazing spells of stars shooting and blinking and Comets with a lovely tail or the shying moon. Watch them closer through a telescope. You would for a moment forget you were living on Earth.

Happier moments are within you, always more so if you are bodily healthy. You can travel and visit fascinating groves of beauty in the flowing brooks, picturesque mountain sides or raging seas. Even if you are aged, don't get awry. Seconds are precious. Preserve every past moment. Break the bonds of slavery from within. Educate (i.e. develop from within) and know thy true identity of Life. Kings may come and Kings may go but the beauty of the seas, mountains, rivers, hill sides and the Cosmic World as a whole lives forever.

Can thou afford to meddle with the affairs of his. Are you not fulfilling his desires by becoming a stepping stone to success for the whole mankind? Love every form of Life however small or irregular it may be. The injured bird you are bandaging may be your stepping stone of the earthly destiny which is only a fraction of your cosmic journey. The lord may be testing you by reincarnating in bird form. Your sufferings of birth and death may cease who knows when!

Truce with my inner self (how to find your inner self)

We are Masters of our destiny

Abstain from wrong deeds. God does not pardon. It can Forgive if we repent and make up for the injustice done. Pray for enhancing Life of your ailing Mother but be prepared to sacrifice equivalent years from your Life. Remain positive. Even birds and animals will understand thy for inhibiting courage and Faith. Act as a true disciple of God.

Do not fear death for you cannot create. Do not love thy body. It is merely a clothing for the soul. You who understands the truth wants to free yourself of the earthly destiny. Still you want to live more! Life and death is as simple as changing of the Guards at Buckingham Place. The destiny of your journey in one form is fixed, so why bother when!

Understand the cosmic illusion! Control thy cravings. Greed is the aftermath. Do not indulge. You will want more and more. No matter how many buckets you add, the sea remains the same. Look inside. The reservoir is full. Disburse with both hands. No matter how many buckets you withdraw, the reservoir never dries.

Indulge and you fear the Lord. A baby cries unceasingly. It longs for wanton desires. Wise parents will gratify what they feel just. The child starts developing with a balanced Life, his wanton desires suppressed. Can we expect this child to grow and indulge in bestial desires? Not unless prevailing in circumstances compel him.

A young child is a reflection of God. Not tainted by egos’, unjust emotions and wanton desires. The cosmic travel attracts him to indulge throughout the journey on this earthly abode. Parents must help a child grow into a wise Human Being. One who is wise is also handsome. One who is wise and handsome gets a beautiful partner for Life. Why do not all of us act wise all the time.

Charity starts at home. How many of us practice it. You want to meekly continue doing what others are doing. You must stand out and become a leader. Followers will see you achieve your goal. Self interest prompts them. Faith in the lord and mutual trust will win the day. Do not distrust anyone. Disgruntled atmosphere robs the day of its light. Wise men make followers understand the truth. Leader is only the guide.

Control Your Reactions and Responses

There are three basic differences in the reactions of optimists and pessimists. The first difference is that the optimist sees a setback as temporary, while the pessimist sees it as permanent. The optimist sees an unfortunate event, such as an order that falls through or a sales call that fails, as a temporary event, something that is limited in time and that has no real impact on the future. The pessimist, on the other hand, sees negative events as permanent, as part of life and destiny

Recognize and banish fear and doubt

Today, let us find fear where he is hiding and drag him out into the light of love. Today, let us pull doubt from the shadows and let him melt in the strong light of grace. Today, let us recognize fear and doubt for what they are: insubstantial illusions of our own making, which can exist only when we give them permission, phantoms of our minds, bullies that will back down when they are exposed to the light. Fear has so many disguises that you must spend someeffort to recognize him for what he is. He disguises himself as specific worry, general anxiety, anger and frustration, apathy and indifference. Most people recognize the symptoms of a major jolt offear, the rapid heartbeat and clutch in the stomach. But your body has many ways that it signals fear in subtler ways, perhaps nervousness in your legs, as you lie in bed unable to sleep. Or perhaps it is a sour feeling in your stomach or a slightly irregular heartbeat when you confront a difficult person or situation. And often it is seen as depression, when you have deeply absorbed the fear and doubt and turned it against yourself. You must learn to recognize and banish both fear and doubt from your mind and body. Fear does not tell the truth and it does not give good advice. Ask for fear to leave. Tell doubt to be quiet. Then allow the light of love to flood you and fill you. Become a column of light and love. And here, within this lightand love, so bright that fear could not possibly exist, here, you may make your choices, based on the calm and centered feeling in your center. Here, full of love and clear of doubt, you will know the right choice to make in this moment, right now, not based onwhat fear says might happen, not based on the dire warnings of doubt, and not based on some fantasy ofwhat you would like to have happen, but instead, based on what is right now and what is likely to happen inthe next moment, all of which is fully known to you, when you clear away fear and doubt and fill yourself with love. Your inner truth asks much of you. When you go deeply into the truth within the moment, when you allow yourself to receive direction from this inner rightness, you will be asked to overcome fear and move forth with action, cloaked only in courage. You will often be asked to do things unfamiliar, to deal with new people, to take on tasks that may seem overwhelming, to make your choices in the direction of change. There are times when the truth will tell youto simply wait, when you had wanted to act rashly. There are times when it will tell you to act, when you are feeling timid and unsure. There are times when it will tell you to act boldly in a direction you neverwould have chosen without this guidance, so unfamiliarand frightening it is. And it is at these times, that fear and doubt will tryto make themselves heard. And your mind will set out to justify what fear and doubt are saying. There are endless reasons and excuses that will come forward for why you should not follow the guidance of your inner truth. And most of your friends and family will echo this as well, for they are also closely bound to fear, truth and it does not give good advice. Ask for fearto leave. Tell doubt to be quiet.

There is only life, unfolding each day with new opportunities, with ways to move forward in a deep involvement with this experience. Life is not safe. Life is vibrant and challenging, glorious and awesome, a continual rainbow of possibilities. Know who you are. You are not fear and you are not doubt. You are the centered core that you feel within you, peaceful and loving, open and blossoming. Letthis person shine forth, in courage and certainty, inconfidence and openness, ready to meet the challenges, full of energy and a joyous acceptance of life as itis, even as it changes moment by moment. You are up to that challenge. You are strong and courageous and surrounded by help. You are all that you need to be, right now. Shine forth in your glory. Let us see who you are. Here is a little prayer for today I stand in the light and open myself to the endless stream of love that is there for me. I feel love and light pouring into my body. I feel love and light surrounding me like a warm blanket, comforting me, making me know that I am deeply loved and cared for atall times. I shine out with love. I go deeply within my centerand feel the truth there, glowing brightly. I know this center. I know the feel of my own truth, calmand peaceful, glowing within me. I trust this center and what it contains. All things are known to me whenI come here and allow myself to connect completely with the truth that lies within. I am this truth. I shine out with it. I take this truth and cloak myself in courage, courage formed of the love that is in me, that surrounds me and is me at all times. I shine forth with truth and courage and know, absolutely, that I am ready for the challenges and wonders of life. I open myself to life as it comes to me, sparkling with newness and possibility.
