ONCE
YOU TOUCH THIS FRINGE OF
PURE
CONSCIOUSNESS,
IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL! YOU
ARE FREE.
Prayer helps, but do not pray because you cannot do. Pray because that is
one of the needful things, not because you failed: “God, I can’t do
anything. Therefore I’m praying to You. Otherwise I wouldn’t have anything
to do with You.” Prayer should be very realistic and substantial. Do your
practices, do your own efforts, and pray also: “Lord, lead me from sleep to
Awakening.” Prayer gives a lot of power. Because we are humans, our
potential is everything; but in our expression or dynamism we are not great.
Therefore we need to pray so that our power awakens and substantiates our
efforts. |
Many times it happens that we may follow the great ones, Who we call the
Messengers, but we have to also listen to Their message. Following is easy,
but listening to Their message and doing that is more important. See that
you take a vow—not an egotistical vow, but in a good way—“Before I leave my
body, I will fulfill my human birth and get Awakened.” This supersedes all
other vocations and accomplishments. Whatever has happened has happened.
Pray to God, “Please erase all my slate. Let me be a new person.” That is
Conscious Being. Once you touch this fringe of Pure Consciousness, it is so
beautiful! There nobody is a sinner, nobody is weak, nobody is going to
hell. Even though you might have done ten sins, a hundred sins, there is no
guilty conscience. You are free. It is for your joy, for your peace, that
I’m telling you this. It is all love, peace. Life makes sense then. So it
will be on the earth as it is in the heaven—life Divine on Earth.
