Life is a Puzzle to Solve on the Way to Divinity

It’s not what we see outside. It’s not what we judge in the outside with our minds, but, for once, truly listen to your heart, really listen to the call of your heart. The call of your heart will reflect the call of your soul, and only when you listen carefully to that, not listening to the mind, not saying “yes” to the mind, when it says “I want Realization”, without knowing what it is. The mind doesn’t comprehend certain things. The mind doesn’t even comprehend what Love is, so, how do you think the mind will comprehend what is greater even than Love itself?

When you make your first step through prayer, through chanting, the Divine will run to you. And, it is possible to attain Him. Open up the mind, surrender it to Him, and let the Love which you have inside of you flow. If you have not yet attained this Love, do everything to attain it, because that’s who you are and that’s what you are here for. The more you think of yourself being the Spirit, being part of Divinity, the more you will become the Spirit and Divinity.

Whatever we do, often we expect, either indirectly or directly. Whether you are conscious of it or you are not conscious of it, there is expectation, always. Having any expectation will never let you be free; only until you let go completely of it. If you are on the spiritual path, when you let go and you surrender to God, you will feel this peace of mind, you will feel that you are free.

The more you chant the Divine Names, the more the Divine will start to reflect on you. Then you can call yourself spiritual, because when you become spiritual, all the negative quality is removed from you, all the negative karma that you have created through many lives before, it gets removed. And what takes place is this joy – the joy of serving, the joy of really being here, the joy of trying to attain the Lord.

We say we want God, but yet, in our minds, God has to be our way. Of course, we all have a personal relationship towards the Divine and He always will come according to how we call Him. He is not limited, He has millions of forms, but we have to let Him do His Will. That’s the meaning of the word surrender. He hears everything and, above all, He knows when to give you what you’re praying for and when you are ready. When you will be able to handle it, He will give it to you.

You have to be happy by chanting, by doing your prayer to the Lord, because He’s always with you. Your parents, your mum and dad, will be with you for some time, but He will always be with you. He was with you from the beginning and He will always be with you until the end, until you realise your Self and until you attain Him. He’s your best friend, He’s the only one that you can really trust, and He’s the only one that gives solutions for everything.

Even if you don't know Him with the mind, you know Him with the heart. You all know Him, because you are part of Him. You should never be scared of surrendering yourself to His Will. You should never be scared of opening your heart and Loving. Your aim is to have God-Realization, Self-Realization. Until you have reached your aim, until you have come to the point of complete trust and faith in yourself and in God, keep trying! Don’t let anything come in the way! Many times the mind will come in the way and say “No, no, no, no, no, no, you should not do like that, you should do like this”, but if you listen to the mind, you will stop. You will become lazy. Only when you really, sincerely dedicate yourself and surrender to your path, surrender to what you really want, you will achieve your aim.

When this longing for the Divine or for God-Realization or whatever name you put on it, is really suffocating, so that you can't even breathe, then you can say, "Yes, I’m on the way towards Divinity"

Life is a Puzzle to Solve on the Way to Divinity

The future belongs to those who live
In the ever-present now.
Fantasy is an illusion of the mind.
Reality is how we think and then Be
In resonance with the Divine Plan for Earth and Man.

The Egyptian god, Thoth, had a Sacred Baboon;
This Baboon was known as the attendant of Thoth.
Thoth deified him, in his day and in that past time,
As we presently view time!

Baboons, in the wild, live terrestrially, on the ground
In groups off five, six, eight, up to 50,
And sometimes even more than that.
They know their Divine nature, through Instinct and
The intelligence level, as was given
By the Creator to their kind.

Man, likewise, chooses to resonate
In his day and his time
With His God-given Intuition and Heart, Within, or not!
The puzzle of life is to place the pieces
Of life's conundrum into proper
Divine alignment with the time, place
And birth of the Self . . . inserted . . .
Into the density encasement of the physical form,
Then into Samadhi, you will go!

Attune your Self with the Heart of the Divine Itself,
The Shiva - Shakti, Maha Lakshmi - Narayana Vishnu,
Male and female, within each one.
Follow your intuition into the Heart of the Self.
Let the Divine lead you home to the true Self.

Allow your Teacher, the Guru, to take you by the hand,
Even as you bow at His Holy feet in surrender
To the Divine within Him, and the Divine within you,
In love, memory, resonance and obedience
To the Formless God, The One!
Namaste, Namaste, Namaste…OM.
