Ultimate Help
We all have deep reserves of
strength of which we know nothing at all. I am sure we all have faced situations
where in the most alarming of situations we manage to find the strength and the
wisdom to escape from it. Invariably when asked how did you escape from that
situation, the answer is I don’t know from where I got the strength or knowledge,
it just came when I needed it the most. Why does this happen? Where does this strength
come from?
This strength and wisdom or
knowledge comes from deep within you, it is your soul with the wisdom of
thousands of births which comes to your rescue, even when you are unaware that
it exists. When you set out on a pilgrimage with the bare minimum of
necessities to keep you going, you find that your basic necessities are always
provided for – some stranger or the other comes forward to help and support –
this is the way divinity works, this is God’s way of working.
The day we decide to let go and
submit ourselves to the mercy of a higher power, let that power take over the
operation of our life saying, ‘you know best what is good for us’, you will
notice that things start happening the way you wanted them to. But when you
were making an effort, all kinds of obstacles kept coming in the way and you
had to struggle – now there is no struggle – just life happening!
As you go along you learn that
you cannot depend on anything or anyone else for your safety or for your
peaceful life. All other things, though they are around, can help you only to a
certain extent. They are limited. The ultimate help always comes from the God
within.
It is best if we learn to tune in
to the God within and then we will always have a guiding voice telling us what
to do and what not to do. This ultimate help though available is not easy to
access – to access that help you need to have faith and belief; you need to
surrender to the higher power and submit yourself to its will. 99% of the people
will not as their ego will come in the way – it will say, ‘don’t listen to all
this nonsense, I will show you the way!’
It takes tremendous strength of
character to recognise that there is a higher power and that you can take its
guidance. Meditation and self-realisation lead you on the path to inner peace.
That path will take you to the abode of the soul – your inner abode – once that
door opens you will be protected and have a perennial source of wisdom
available for your guidance. These days are high energy days – stay connected,
live in tune with your inner being, spread peace and joy – because that is the
need of the hour today. Stay blessed!
