IMPORTANT SPIRITUAL ADVICE
"Do not worry about tomorrow. He who will be bringing before you the Sun, Moon, Stars, Air, Water, and Vegetation, as well as such a vast world, will surely worry over your needs and fulfil them.
He who has given the world whatever it needs, water to satiate one’s thirst, the air to keep one alive, the sun to give you warmth and light, the moon to give you coolness, the rivers to flow down to the ocean, movement to the winds, twinkling lights to the stars,
He shall surely care for this small need of thine!
He gave warmth and light to the sun, not at the asking of anyone; he gave a coolness to the moon, not at the asking of anyone. Rather He gave these things to mankind, knowing of the needs of people even without their asking for them.
The Benevolent Lord who is fulfilling thousands of your needs without your asking for them, will not allow you to go and knock at the door of someone else for the fulfillment of your one single need!
The Benevolent Lord who is in the habit of giving all the time, cannot withhold his hand of benevolence. If you do not have a begging bowl to contain the things he wishes to give to you, then he will give you a begging bowl also along with the things you need.
Deliver yourself up to Him in the same manner as a child delivers himself to his mother, or a patient delivers himself to his doctor, or a sheep delivers himself to its shepherd.
If you find any particular wish of yours not being fulfilled then think of it as His Will and accept it as your own. Then you will not be able to say that your wish was not fulfilled, because you will find a fulfillment of your wish in His Will.
You must only remember Him who has the power to give. He shall of Himself care for your needs. If you cannot be without your needs then keep them with yourself and go and sit in His lap, taking your needs with you. Not only will He protect you but He will also protect your needs. Your needs will be blessed when they are fulfilled by His Hands.
Do not at any time be filled with pride that you have been able to fulfill all your desires by yourself. It is possible that in this kind of fulfillment there may be some hidden fault.
If any failures come to you from Him then think of these failures too as greater than any success which you may have acquired. If you cannot be without desires then desire only Him. In this way either all your desires will disappear or else shall find fulfillment all by themselves.
Remain thou at peace always, because your needs are being taken care of. God has placed you in the lap of Mother Nature. And it must protect you because you have been given to it by God as His fledgling and Mother Nature is answerable to Him for your protection.
Do not make yourself unhappy through your own ignorance while possessing all the things that you need.
You are the child of Someone who is so Great. Why are you worried? You are the servant of Someone who is Almighty. So why are you worried?
Therefore be thou at peace!
If you are in the house of someone as His guest, then should you worry where the next meal will come from? Does such a worry not amount to insulting the Host?
Such a worry fills you with restlessness. You begin to think of yourself as a very small person.
Being the child of Someone so Great do not become a slave of desire. Do not leave His hand to run after the things of the world. Such an attitude can prove harmful for you.
