Our
Goal…
The
fruit of love is present in each and every person’s life. To experience the
fruit you need to remove the outer skin. Once you peel the skin of the fruit,
also remove the bitter seeds within it. Then you can extract the sweet juice,
partake it and discard the pulp. Understand that God has given you this body
only to relish the sweetness of Love.
Peel
away the skin of ego and pride. Remove all the seeds of evil intentions,
thoughts and deeds. Discard the pulp of possession and attachment. Then what
remains is the sweet juice of love.
All
of you are farmers. You must engage in spiritual practices to cultivate your
heart. Is there any use for an uncultivated land? Without wasting your life and
keeping the land barren, focus on cultivating your heart to enjoy the sweetness
of the Divine.
5 Point
Discipline
Silence is the
first step in daily living, which
makes the other steps easy. It promotes self-control, lessens chances of anger,
hate, malice, greed and pride. Besides, you can hear His footsteps, only when
silence reigns in the mind. Cleanliness
opens the door to Godliness. Inner and outer cleanliness are essential to
install God within your heart. Service
saves you from the agony you get when another suffers; it broadens your vision,
widens your awareness, and deepens your compassion. All the waves on the sea
originate from the same sea and also merge in it. Service to others teaches you
to be firm in this knowledge. Practice
Love. Do not hate and none must be looked down upon as secondary, inferior
or unimportant. Everyone has their allotted role in the drama designed by the
Almighty. Do not slight, insult or
injure anyone; He is in every being and your slight thus becomes a
sacrilege.
