The Word (AUM) of God, the voice of Spirit, the
manifestation, is in everything. The upheavals that take place on the earth are
caused by human selfishness, by our inharmony with one another and with the
hidden spirit in us and in all creation. Because we have not learned from our
destructive ways, we and the earth continue to suffer devastation storms,
earthquakes, floods, disease and wars.
Is there a way to conquer nature and life with its
poverty, disease, wars and all the other issues that confront us?
Is there a way to victory and how can a victory be
attained?
We must start with ourselves. We may think it is
hopeless to try to conquer hatred and inspire human kind to Christ like ways of
love, but there was never a need tan now. The world is marching on the path of
destruction. We may say that we are too small to do anything about it. The
solution lies in conquering ourselves as Jesus did. His victory gave Him power
over nature.
We need to analyze our thoughts and actions. How did
we get to where we are now; what are our strength and weaknesses and how did we
acquire them? After that we need to destroy our bad harvest.
As we recognize our weaknesses and remove them, we
become stronger. We must never become discouraged by our frailties, but rather
use constructive self analysis. When we don’t exercise our discrimination, we
are blind, and the inherent wisdom of the soul has eclipsed into ignorance.
This is why we suffer.
God has given us the power to remove ignorance and
uncover wisdom. We need to examine our actions every night and keep a mental
dairy, then during the day we need to examine periodically what we think and
do. Watching our thoughts is very powerful.
We came into this world not to lose ourselves but to
discover our true Self. We need to find our Self and find God and whatever life
demands of us. We need to do everything to the best of our ability; by
discrimination, by right action we learn to conquer all obstacles and attain
mastery over ourselves.
If we question whether we will win or lose in our
battles with life, we will go on losing. But when we perform all our duties as
a service to God, we find answers to positive outcomes of our endeavours.
There is nothing wrong with sometimes losing the battle. This keeps us humble and provides an opportunity for checking our thoughts and actions, but we need never to give up trying. In the end we will succeed. We are born to thrive, to succeed. The only one that can stop us is ourselves
