God Has Given Everything We Need
God has already given us everything we need to live in this
world. If there is anything else we will need in the future, he will give it to
us, and if he hasn’t given it to us yet, it’s because we don’t need it!
Everything is already present within us. All we need is the proper art of
putting them together. This art of putting together is called self-restraint.
We all have everything within us, but we have never put
them together with the proper system, proper tuning and music. They all lie
within us, but unfortunately, we don’t know what to do with them. A stone lies in
front of our house and we think of it as a nuisance, a hindrance. But another
person uses it as a stepping stone to go to the other side. Everything is
within – God has given everything complete to man, but the freedom to gather
himself together to make use of God’s gifts lies entirely with man.
Everyone has the same qualities – whether it is a criminal,
a thief, a sinner or a virtuous person. The only difference is the arrangement
and the use to which it is put. According to Zen fakirs – if you want to enter
the house of God, you must learn the burglar’s art. You need to be as alert as
the thief, completely in the moment. You should be able to transform your fear
and enter like a thief, as if it is your own house.
Our consciousness contains all knowledge that is required
for us to merge with the ocean of universal consciousness. In almost all of us
this knowledge lies dormant deep within us. We need a lit lamp to come and light
up our flame – this is done when a living Master or Satguru comes into our life
and awakens us from deep slumber.
He teaches us meditation, awareness, mindfulness and how to
live in the moment – this is easier said than done. But with continuous
practice, we slowly learn to empty ourselves of all the accumulated muck gather
over several births. We may or may not believe in reincarnation, but it is the
truth, the imprints of our past life are carried deep within our subconscious.
As the layers peel off, we begin to see ourselves as we always
were – pure consciousness. Our intuition, our inner voice can now be heard which
used to be drowned by the sound of our mental chatter. This voice can be heard
very clearly as it guides you – this happens only when the mind has become calm
and quiet.
This quietness is essentially what God has given us – we spend
time through several births to become one with this peace and quiet. Once we
find this peace and quiet, there is no desire left to take birth again. The
moment becomes everything – full of life and energy and radiance. Liberation is
no more a goal – you have reached the state.
