BETWEEN YOU
AND GOD THERE IS NO DISTANCE.
WHENEVER YOU
HAVE A DILEMMA, A QUESTION, OR YOU CANNOT SOLVE
A PROBLEM BY YOUR
OWN MEANS, FOCUS ON THE PRESENCE OF GOD.
How can we arouse these feelings? First bring
in the idea and focus. Though at that point there are no feelings, go on
with it. The laws of nature are such that when you go on focusing, even
though mechanically and intellectually, at one point you reach a second
level and feelings are aroused. Then you will touch the intermediary
connecting force and vibrations. That will give you much more satisfaction
than what we call mundane life, the ordinary values that have gripped us.
Normally feelings are only aroused when selfishness comes up. Then for the
time being we are awakened. But as soon as attachments or greed are removed,
the feelings cool down again. It has no constancy; therefore we miss the
contact with this Cosmic Substance that is always around us and in us. |
Whenever you have a dilemma,
a question, or you cannot solve a problem by your own means, focus on the
Presence of God. Gradually you will see that the clouds will scatter. But if
again you bring in selfish motives or attachment, then the horse is put back
behind the cart and you will have the same drama. Never waste your energy in
trying to do things. “I’m trying my best.” That is a very pitiable answer
from a human being. When you want to do it, just do it. If ever you
succeed while trying, it will only be when you have stopped trying and
started doing. But if you find that—”I did it; it didn’t happen”—it may show
your incapacity. Then you have to increase your capacity. On the spiritual
path, this requires practices. |
