GUARDIAN ANGELS AND GUIDES
Q: I would
like to ask about my guardian angel. Very often I feel a close presence and feel
that it may be my guardian angel? How do I recognize it?
Every single life form, my children, has a guardian angel. Not only humans, but
every single life form. Sometimes, my child, what you think is an angel is a
guide. My children, there is difference between a guide and an angel. Do you
remember our last discourse when we discussed that fairies were a completely
different chain of evolution? Now you have another chain you are learning about.
They are the cherubim, the angels. Once again their task, though close to that
of fairies, is a much higher and wider task. Angels are here not only to look
after you but also to help you in the tiniest deed that you might require from
them. Tiniest, my children. For example if you lose a book, take a moment to ask
your angel ‘please help me to find this book if it is in my highest
interest.’ Or, my son, if you do not find a parking spot ask your angel
‘please help me to find a convenient parking spot if it is in my highest
interest.’ And remember, when you do not find that parking spot, your angel is
guiding you away from where you wish to go. So thank your angel. Remember
children, you all ask for help, but many a time you forget to thank for the help
that is rendered. Do you know why? Because you think that no help is being
rendered. When the book is not found, when the parking spot is not available,
when something that you have asked for does not come your way, you assume that
help is not given and so thanks are not said. This is wrong, my children. Help
has been given; a lot of help has been given, in fact, because it is in your
higher interest not to have found your book, not to have found the parking spot,
not to have that work completed. So even then one must remember to ask your
guide and guardian angel again and then thank them for looking after you so
carefully. So, my child, sometimes yes, the presence you feel is certainly of
your guardian angel, but at other times it is of your guides and councilors. But
it is absolutely unimportant to try and think who is this. Is it an angel, a
guide or a councilor? Eventually, my child, we are all with one purpose only, to
look after you. So whomever you thank, you are in fact thanking us all. Does
this answer your question?
Q : Yes, Sir. Thank you. I would also like to ask you with what words I could
speak to my guides? Is it sufficient to speak to them in my thoughts?
My child, if I were here in physical form before you what word would you use?
Use those very same words. We don’t need words well thought out, we don’t
expect from you a lot of reverence. We want you to think of us as your closest,
closest friend and speak to us thus. Do not think of us as higher beings that
require reverence and awe from you. We don’t require that. We want to be in
your hearts all the time. So whether you speak the words out aloud or merely as
a thought, we can hear them equally well. Whatever is comfortable with you use
those words. But remember you are speaking to a friend.
Q : I am delighted to hear this, Sir. I have always felt more comfortable using
words like ‘Hi, pal’ or ‘buddy’.
Of course, my son. And I will tell you why I am asking you to treat us as
friends. You see, my children, when you look up to us you begin to expect a lot
from us and when we don’t deliver (as you might put it) then you get
disappointed and very often people turn away from us. But if you treat us, as my
son said a pal or buddy, your expectations are not so high. You expect from us
what you expect from a dear friend and you will forgive us as quickly as you
would a dear friend. Now you, might wonder why WE need forgiveness? We don’t,
but you need to forgive us because you get very easily annoyed at us when we do
not do what you need done. So, think of us as a friend who is able to see what
is good and what is right and therefore sometimes the work is done and sometimes
it is not. And if it is not done and you get angry, please feel free to tick us
off. It will not bother us at all, but it will make you feel much lighter. But
remember that once you have ticked us off very soundly, then forgive us because
forgiveness is again an addition to your little bit of vanity. It makes you feel
good, doesn’t it?
So forgive us, and then once again we can be friends and start afresh.
