MAKE SUCH A FRIEND IN LIFE...

FROM THE WRITINGS OF HH SHRI BHOLA NATHJI (1902-1992) A GREAT SPIRITUAL LUMINARY OF HIS TIME WHO GAVE PEACE AND BEATITUDE TO COUNTLESS SOULS, RELIEVING THEM OF THEIR ILLS AND SORROWS. HE USED TO CALL HIMSELF ' THE SERVANT OF THE EARTH' AND IT WAS HIS VOICE:

' I HAVE NO MISSION EXCEPT LOVE IN THIS WORLD,

MY MISSION IS LOVE AND MY WORK IS LOVE'

We all make friends in life, some of which remain true all one's life while others remain friends but maintain a distance. There are others who simply betray you or walk out on you.

The higher the status of the friend, the greater will he maintain his distance from you. If you have the President as your friend, he may not meet you at all!!

Now suppose you say to a very powerful friend:

"Remain with me all the time,

Be ready to come whenever I call,

Never be separate from me even for a moment!

Always keep me in your embrace!"

Will anyone agree? Not even a servant, far less a rich and powerful person.

There is no one will will come running when you snap your fingers, be it day or night, no one who will bother to care for you and leave aside everything else for your Sake.

But then what did HH Shri Bhola Nathji mean when he wrote?

"MAKE SUCH A FRIEND IN LIFE,

WHO WILL NEVER BETRAY YOU,

WHO WILL NEVER BREAK YOUR HEART!

WHO WILL COME RUNNING AT ONCE, WHEN YOU NEED HIM,

WHO WILL ALWAYS KEEP YOU IN HIS EMBRACE,

WHO WILL NEVER REMAIN AWAY FROM YOU EVEN FOR A SINGLE STEP!"

Indeed - who? No one upon this earth.

There can be only One such Being, One who is living only for your sake and has no other purpose in life. What a wonderful thing it would be to be able to get such a friend!

But who is He and where is He? 

HE IS GOD. AND YOU DONT HAVE TO SEARCH FOR HIM BECAUSE HE IS SITTING INSIDE YOUR HEART, AND NEVER SEPARATE FROM YOU FOR EVEN A MOMENT. 

HE IS WITH YOU ONLY FOR YOUR SAKE TO SERVE YOU DAY AND NIGHT WHENEVER YOU NEED HIM.

AND NOT ONLY YOU, BUT EVERY PERSON UPON THE PLANET EARTH, AND INDEED ANYWHERE WHERE THERE IS LIFE IN THIS VAST UNIVERSE WITH MILLIONS OF GALAXIES AND MILLIONS OF WORLDS WITH LIFE.

YES, HE IS TRULY THE SERVANT OF THE EARTH AND THE UNIVERSE!
