Quote:Is this your God
Man's eternal question is:
"Who is God?"
God's immediate answer is:
"My child, who else is God,
if not yo
I am never alone.
When I am absolutely helpless,
God is for me.
When I am absolutely powerful,
humanity is for me
I knew God in Heaven.
God knows me on earth.
I knew Him there by seeing Him repeatedly.
He knows me here by giving me constantly I think of God because
I want Him and need Him.
God thinks of me because
He loves me and cherishes me O God, where are You?"
"My child, I am in between your desire
and your aspiration."
"My God, do You have anything special
to do with my desire and my aspiration?"
"Yes, My son, with your desire I bind
My outer Body,
and with your aspiration I free
My inner Breath
The God of a child
is his pure imagination.
The God of an adolescent
is his sure creation.
The God of a youth
is his fatal frustration.
The God of an old man
is his dying and crying aspiration
My Lord, what is the difference between
human love and divine love?"
"My child, the difference between human love
and divine love is very simple:
Human love desperately needs.
Divine love abundantly feeds."
My sweet Lord, I have only one desire,
one prayer, one aspiration:
Please show me only once the face
of unconditional surrender on earth
In Heaven I used to get endless Delight
from God for the asking.
On earth I get endless Compassion
from God for the asking. God is anxiously and eagerly waiting
to be claimed by you.
What you need is the right way,
and what you will need
is the right moment,
to claim Him as your very own
"My sweet Lord, please tell me the difference
between You and me."
"My child, the difference is very small:
you are possessed by your little possessions
and I am released by My Infinite Possessions."
My question is:
"How can I leave the world
better than I found it?"
God's answer is:
"Give the world a moment of your concern,
and give Me your endless night of ignorance.
Lo, you have achieved your noble goal." My Lord tells me that I need
both science and spirituality.
In my life of desire, I need science
in order to relay my thoughts outwardly
to the furthest end of the globe.
In my life of aspiration, I need spirituality
to bring me the message of the Unknown,
the Ultimate Beyond This morning I accused God
of making Heaven superior to earth.
He denied my accusation.
He said: "I offer My Blessings equally
to both Heaven and earth.
Heaven is with Me and in Me.
That is why Heaven is eternally divine.
Earth is of Me and for Me.
That is why earth is eternally evolving
towards My Transcendental Perfection
My Lord, do I need both
Consolation and Compassion,
or is one of the two enough?"
"My son, you need both
Consolation and Compassion.
You need Consolation from Me because
you are defeated in the battlefield of life.
You need Compassion to act as a divine hero
in the battlefield of life.
Also you need Compassion to act as a victor
over the forces of failure
Yesterday the name of my Lord was Doubt.
Today the name of my Lord is Fear.
Tomorrow the name of my Lord will be Joy Yesterday I got my first lesson
from God on Divinity.
Today I am getting my second lesson
from God on Eternity and Infinity.
Tomorrow I shall get my third lesson
from God on Immortality.
The day after tomorrow I shall get
my fourth and last lesson
from God on Reality
"My Lord, I have millions of desires.
Do You have any?"
"Yes, My child, I have."
"You have? Please tell me what they are!"
"My only desire is to see you eternally happy.
Can you fulfil My desire?"
"I shall try, my Lord."
"Try, My child, try."
When I am without God, I cry.
I cry because there is no other way
to realise God than to cry
silently and incessantly.
When I am with God, I shed tears.
I shed tears because there is no other way
to express my eternal gratitude to God
than to shed tears soulfully and unreservedly
"My Lord, Your Knowledge-sun
is unimaginably expensive."
"My son, your ignorance-night
is unbelievably explosive "Please tell me, my real Lord,
how I can live without trouble
and without pleasure."
"My son, to live without trouble,
what you need is your soul's light.
To live without pleasure,
what you need is your soul's joy
"At times I achieve according to what I believe.
At times I believe according to what I achieve.
Am I doing the right thing, my Lord?"
"My son, the right thing will be for you
to achieve only what I want you to achieve
and to believe only what I want you to believe.
What I want you to achieve
is perfect Perfection.
What I want you to believe
is the immortality of your aspiration."
Alan,
With all due respect, it might be somewhat disingenuous to present unattributed quotations, actually rather substantial passages, that have the appearance of being authored by yourself -
ie: as your own words.
I am only calling this to your attention since I recognize the particular author -
Sri Chinmoy ("My Lord's Secrets Revealed") - as being someone other than yourself (and myself),
in the dualistic relative sense, of course.
I am sure that this is an inadvertant ommision on your part.
Hope this is helpful,
