GOD
It is a lovely day isn’t it ? How many times have you all looked around and seen the god that is within . You see trees and flowers but think not of him . Why? You hear birds and insects and hear not him . Isn’t this a waste of the message of beauty that nature brings ? God is in everything my child and is everywhere . Only when you experience Him as such do you truly realise God . You must know and feel His presence within you all , even when you are completely absorbed in your busiest daily activity . No activity is separate from Him ; no task is set to you that isn’t His task . Everything and everyone and all life is God . Become god-realised in this sense . It will take you a long way towards your evolution . Nothing is done without a purpose and there is no purpose other than the experience of God within you , around you , everywhere . When you all get absorbed in your daily chores , God takes a back seat very , very far away in your mind . You know He is somewhere around but you are to busy to give Him more than a glancing thought . It is only during prayer , meditation , or troubled times that He is uppermost to you . That is not how it should be . God cannot be given an allotted time to be thought of . You are God and the whole universe is God . Then why not see the importance of this rather than giving importance to things that do not really matter ? This is not to say that all your other activities are not important . They are very , very important but their importance is due to the fact that all activity , all thought , all words , all actions are meant for one and one purpose only ----- to bring you closer to your soul , to your God , to become one with the force of forces and to completely surrender in its strength . This is the purpose of life .
Q: Yes, Sir , we understand .
No, it will take a long while before you all truly understand the true significance of these words but for now even a superficial understanding will suffice . When you know that God is everywhere , and in everyone and everything , the base emotions of anger, hate and envy that you all struggle with , will no more be present because can you hate God ? Can you fear Him and be angry with Him ? Of course not . Your life would then be so smooth and you would experience truly what you came on this plane to experience .
You all ask for love, but when you are faced with the enormity of pure godly love, it makes you fearful because you do not know how to handle and deal with true love. This is because true love needs you to be completely open.
No walls, no defences can keep it out; they crumble at the first touch, and this is what makes you all fearful. That is why our dear Lord, in his wisdom and kindness, does not expose everyone to the purity and vastness of His love. It is only when you seek it as fervently as you do, that the Lord permits this knowledge. So thank our dear Lord for holding you when you needed to be held.
God is not a person, place or thing. He is nothing and everything. He is an energy. The love and light around you is God. Many need a physical manifestation to assure themselves that they are in His presence. So if you are comfortable to have Avatar Meher Baba around you, so be it. Is a stone idol in a temple God? No. And yet how many times are these prayed to? Why? The stone is not important. Faith is. If to have faith one man needs a stone, and another needs a physical avatar, so be it. There will come a time when you realise it is not a stone or a man…..there is only ENERGY.....LIGHT.
