CHAPTER 9
On this earth is an Avatar, He walks will all the divine
energies of the universe within Him, His name is truth, His form
is love, His mission is to be only on the right path, and His
promise to us, is peace at all times. This is a mother who has
come to take Her children back home with Her. A mother who
never sleeps and will tirelessly work to awaken Her children
from their deep slumber of ignorance. A mother who never
complains, but who patiently listens to Her child's complaints,
even complaints of Her. A mother who is perfect Herself, yet is
grateful to you for your efforts to transform. A mother who
will worry, when you do not give her your worries. A mother who
will cushion your fall with Her own hands and who will grace
your success with rewards of Her love and protection forever.
The mother in Me, looks for the child in you to respond and
recognize My call of love, to work with Me in My task to
spiritually elevate with you all your brothers and sisters of
this world, so that none of you can ever be an orphan again, and
with My light of truth and warmth of love, this mother will
carry each one of Her children to the home of divine peace. The
nature of your existence is to give love and seek peace. So I
say,"Let the fires in your heart burn with love, and let this
fire burn into ashes your thoughts and desires and empty your
mind, only to fill it with peace." My mission is to transform
the bitter to sweet, to melt the stone to butter, to remove the
impurities and polish the jewel of virtues, and your mission, My
dears, is to live My mission from the beginning of your journey
till the end. The Guru can teach, but it is the devotee that
must learn. The Guru can save, but it is the devotee that must
allow Him to save. My mission and your mission, both depend
upon you, for my mission will succeed, only, if your mission
wins. Today, I plead to you as a mother to listen, I instruct
you as your teacher to pass your test, and I bless you with the
divine energies to succeed in your task and to give purpose to
the cause for which this has come. Change to love all, and you
will love the change it will bring in yourselves.
When you begin to experience the beauty of love with the efforts
you make in your spiritual sadhana, and you begin to share this
experience with others, so they too, can feel this wave of
peace, you have become a part of My "team". You have become one
of My hands to complete My task, you have become the hope in My
eyes, you have brought truth to My teachings, you have begun the
process of eliminating the "I" and opening the spiritual eye to
see the Lord yourselves, and you have begun to share the way
with others. If you help one, and the one helps another, then
the truth is not far away, and in the circle of love, we will
find God.
When you have shared love, you have not shared your wealth of
this life, but your wealth of several lives, only to see it grow
to become your treasure. This treasure of love makes you the
owner of this world, without the desire or obsession to own.
You will realize, that the rest of the world is your want "to
need", but love is all you really need. Your urge to share this
love is the divine energy within you that goes beyond the need
of your "self" to the needs of all the "selves" that surround
you. Each of us is a part of this whole, and love is the magnet
that attracts us to each other to come together and become one
spirit, "the spirit of God". The difference lies only in the
body, for the inner beings of each one of us come and go back to
the same Source. Close your eyes, and shut off to the external
physical differences. When you pray, you close your eyes to the
external distractions, so that you can concentrate on looking
inward. In the same way, your relation with others must go
beyond the body. The eyes of your "self" will recognize the
bond in the "self" of another. Then tell Me, who can you hate,
who can you envy, and who is really the target of your anger?
Your own self! You cannot make anyone suffer, for the one who
suffers is you, and the one who inflicts the suffering is also
you. I know this may be hard to understand, for you are reeled
into this wheel of superficiality, but I am the truth, and I
have come to reveal it to you. "God is true love and love is
the true self." All else experienced or known, is unreal.
To live amongst the defects of this world, to overcome all your
faults and ignore them in others, and to live your life in
perfect purity, seems to be only a wishful thought to you. Do
not blindfold yourselves with the idea that all this is
impossible and difficult to accomplish. To Me, most of your
difficulties lie in your disbelief of God, in your fears of
handling the reins over to Him, in the mountain of pride that
stops you to love, and in the lack of confidence in your own
self. Believe Me, you live in a very difficult situation today,
and My path for you is less crooked and very simple. When the
Lord walks in your life with you, the strength of His purity
will compel you to wash away your impurities. His feet, you
will follow, all through your ups and downs, the warmth of His
smile, and the sweet voice of His encouraging words will take
away all your pains, His hands you will hold to overcome the
blinding spells of your chaotic senses, His eyes will be your
guide to help you reach home, and your eyes will find
contentment in only seeing Him. The bliss you can find in your
journey of life with Him is not comparable to your journeys that
leave you alone and lost.
When a person in jail suffers long-term imprisonment, he begins
to adapt to the ways in the prison and begins to find security
in his cell. He fears to be released into the real world
outside, due to his lack of self-confidence. He becomes afraid
of rejection and failure.
You, too, have been locked into several bodies and have begun to
find comfort and security in this unreal world. Your fears of
the unknown, and of your fears of change have limited you in
your inquiries of the self. You are imprisoned by choice and
not by force. Come, open the doors, and breathe the fresh air
of freedom! Come, untie the chains that lock your feet, and
learn to walk again! Come, unfold your blindfold, and in the
brightness of the sunlight, enjoy the true vision and see again!
In such confinement, divine love suffocates and dies.
