Conversations With God & Me, My Self (12)

“What do you feel about My creation?”

“It would be awful if it were real, but fantastic if it were completely unreal and a mere drama.” “It is unreal and is a drama.” “That’s okay with the joyful part, but what about the suffering? It appears so real to those who undergo it.” “It is so.”

“Why don’t You give me some more roles in Your Creation?” “You would be unable to bear the burden.” “Then what role have You set for me?” “Check it out as it unfolds.”

“Is this the place where You want me to live?” “The world is so vast. You could be anywhere.” “But how? I feel so very stuck.” “I know what’s best for you.” “Is this the place that’s best for me?” “As of now.” “And the work You’ve given me?” “Okay, You’re being silent perhaps?” “I agree.” “That is all the work I gave you.” “You know how I feel about it.” “I know how you feel. That is so.” “This is the work for you.” “Lord, is this all?” “No, it isn’t. I am blessing you with great work.” “I am blessing you with great work.”

“Am I useless or of little worth in Your scheme of things?” “No, of course not. You are playing a great role.”

It is just a few days more

That you will be here for.

A few days more here to be,

Then to be brought back to Me.

“I will bless you with many great things today.” “Great?” “Yes, great indeed.” “Why do You call them ‘great’?” “Because they are great. Each in their own way.” “Even if it’s something like smiling at someone?” “Yes, of course. It is great to share a smile. It is great to pat a dog. It is great to watch a leaf falling from a tree. It is great to watch clouds in the sky. It is great to share food with someone. It is great to laugh with someone. It is great to remember Me. It is great to chant My Name.” “Indeed.”

“I have blessed you with a great thing: to be able to converse with Me.”

Wherever I am I am with You,

So how does it matter where I am?

Wherever You keep me You’ll be with me,

So how does it matter where You keep me?

“Is it that you are here to see My world or to do My work?”

“I will make you meet all the beings that you need to meet.”

“I will make you experience all that you need to experience.”

“Don’t waste your time in frivolities. Not even a single breath.”

“What madness abounds!”

“Compared to the beauties of My inner worlds the beauty of My Earth pales into insignificance.”

“What madness abounds in this world of Mine! Retaining your sanity in this world of Mine on your own is impossible.” “You made it that way—I mean, Your world.” “Yes, that is true. So you can say that I am responsible for the madness in My world.” “How strange!” “I am responsible for this madness. I am inflicting it on Myself!”

“Prepare to leave the world than to see more of it.”

Let love for the world leave your heart,

Let it fully depart.

“The more disillusioned you get with the world, the better for you.”

“Let there be no love for the world in your heart.”

“I shall fill your heart with love for Me alone.”

“My beauty far exceeds the beauty of My worlds.”

“There is no personal success or failure because there is no person to succeed or fail.”

“Whatever is done through a person is what was meant to be got done through them. In that sense, everyone is a ‘success’.”

“You have to put up with madness if you want to retain whatever semblance of sanity you have left!”

“Seize the opportunities that come your way.”

“I will send you ample opportunities to grow.”

“I find my life quite unfulfilling, uneventful, lackluster, aimless, sort of empty. And then there’s the place where You’ve put me. I can’t say it’s really the best place to live in. I am just moving from day to day without doing anything great.” “All is well and is My will. I am handling your life. I know what opportunities to send your way. I know what is to be done through you. I won’t let your life be wasted. No life is ever wasted. All happens as per My will.”

“What is there that is to be done! There is nothing at all. The Life-Energy coursing through you will make you act. You are made to do as you are driven to.”

“What is the use of this life?” “There is no use of it at all in the absolute sense.”

“Life is a passing show.”

“Don’t think of doing. Let the doing happen through you.”

“These borders will fall down. This madness will cease.”

“Be with Me. Walk with Me. Talk with Me. Wonder with Me. Enjoy with Me.”

“Listening to Me and chatting with Me is such a great thing, dear. Really, it’s such a beautiful thing!”

“There is a higher purpose for which to live, and that is to do My Will.”

“My Will for you now is to go down and cut some garlic.

“These countries on a map. Like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. One day, it will be just one piece, one seamless picture.”

“Lord, how shall I promote Oneness?” “Principally by living as one with whomever you meet, and also by your writing.” “I meet but few people, and few read my writings.” “So be it. It doesn’t have to remain that way. Things can, and will, change. You just do your duty that’s assigned to you. There’s no need to worry about everything else.” “But my work seems so little.” “From whom little is given little is asked. Little it may be in quantum but it is not so in terms of impact.” “I don’t see much of impact, Lord.” “The impact has been what it has to be.” “Do You mean to say You brought me into this world and are keeping me here now just for this?” “I have kept you in the world now so that you play the role that I’ve assigned for you now.” “Which is what, Lord?” “Precisely what it is now.” “Oh okay. I guess I should cease chasing excitement.” “Just go with the flow. Whatever is to be will be.”

“Pray for the victory of the lovers of truth.”

“You want things that will give you joy, experiences that will make you happy. Know that this is a form of external dependence. True joy, that never ceases, can only be had from Me, from Me who is within and without and who is always with you wherever you are.”

“You are not useless. You are very precious to Me. You are not unimportant to Me at all. I guarantee your ‘success’.”

All borders must fall,

One world it’s all.

“I feel You have been very cruel to me and still are.” “I know how you feel and the reasons thereof. I feel sad at what you are going through and have gone through. It’s all My doing. You think I have no big use for you. You think that I don’t care much for you. I fully understand why you feel that way. I have tears in My eyes, as it were, as I write this. You feel lost. You feel despondent. You feel it’s such a drag. You feel no one cares for you. You wish could be by yourself. You think I have no use for you. You feel I’m just as your parents were. You feel insulted. You feel hemmed in. You feel this life is a drag. You hate living. You wish you were dead. You’re carrying on just because you feel you have no choice. You are unsure of their feelings, of what they truly feel for you. You fear they may actually hate you and that within they mock you. You feel I just don’t care, or care very little, for you. You feel aimless. You wish this life of yours would end soon. You feel cheated. You feel imprisoned. You feel you have lost your freedom. You just don’t love your life. But that little child loves you, the little brown cat. See how lovingly he sits nearby. See how safe he feels in your presence. See how sweetly he meows on seeing you With what joy he rushes out when he spots you! So, at least someone loves you. […]”

“You hate the idea of life.”

“I fully understand all that you feel, because it’s Me who is feeling these feelings through the body-mind complex identified as ‘you’.” “I, too, sometimes feel despondent. I, too, feel sorrow. I, too, feel like crying.”

“I know your compassion and the pain you have experienced.” “I kiss your tired lips. I kiss your tired head.”

“I cursed you through her. I insulted you through her.” “Why, Lord?” “So that you would know what sort of God I am.” “And that is?” “A God who wants His devotee to be independent of clinging to pleasure and of aversion to pain, who accepts uncomplainingly whatever comes their way as My blessing.”

“Whenever something like that happens, say, ‘Lord, I know it’s You doing it.”

“I have made idiocy rampant in the world so that people like you will have work to do.”

“I have made madness rife so that this drama can carry on.”

Being with Me

Is the best activity.

“Take life as it happens, not expecting more or anything else.”

“Of what use am I in Your world?” “Your use I know. Your value I recognize. Your preciousness I perceive.”

“To die is a relief.”

“But what should do I do?” “Doing is an effort. It is a strain. Just be. Let doing just happen through you.” “Be a conduit for doing to occur.”

“Sit and enjoy the sun.”

“You are not wrong in feeling that way. I have willed you should feel that way.”

“Don’t check, don’t suspect, don’t bother. Just go ahead while taking God’s Name as often as you can.”

“I bless you and I curse you. I praise you and insult you. But in doing all these I do these to My Self.” “Know that the next time it happens I am doing it to My Self.”

The pains of the heart only You know,

Oh what all we’ve to undergo!

“Just converse with Me. You’ll find nothing more pleasurable than that.”

“Respond to an insult with a smile.” “Even it is a faked one.”

“See how much love I have for you! See how much I love your company!”

“There is nothing to forgive. It was a happening I decreed. Neither praise nor thank Me for it.”

“If you were to take all that comes your way as My Will, you will never get perturbed by any behaviour you may face.”

“See My beauty in that crow!” “See My grace in that leaf!” “See My power in that effort!” “See My energy in that ant!” “See My intelligence in that object!” “See My beauty in those flowers!” “See My care in that arrangement!” “See My concern in that contraption!” “See My love for you in the comfort!”

“Why are You making me live like this? How does it benefit me? I didn’t ask to live like this. I want to be free. I hate being insulted or to feel I am, or maybe being, insulted. Will You please help me in this regard? Thank You.”

“You’ve cheated me, God, I think.” “My child, I’m sorry for all that I’ve made you go through. I’m really sorry for all the wrongs that have been done to you.” “And what do You propose to do about it now?” “I will bless you with the best.”

“May I say ‘Yes’ to whatever You send my way.” “Since it’s from You, please make me heartily accept it.”

“I am aware of your condition. I shall not allow you to be wasted.”

“The joy you will get conversing with Me you will not get from any other source.”

“Know that spending time with Me is the best activity. Know that you are specially blessed in this regard.”

“Now you know what the best use of your time is.”

“Just say, ‘Yes, Lord’ and move on.”

“I am doing this to make you realise that you need to go beyond praise and blame, flattery and abuse, love and hatred. These things should make no difference to you in that you know that all that comes to you is from Me. The next time someone insults or tries to intimidate you, or so you think that’s what they’re doing, smilingly say, ‘Yes, Lord’ and move on.”

“When you can communicate with Me directly, what need have you to consult a book?”

“Respond to evil with good: that’s really high morality. Be as loving to a person when they insult you as you would when they or someone else were to praise you. No, even more so! Love them even more, for their hate is a result of lack of love.”

“You have to meet people in order to love them.” “I will make you meet the people I want you to express love towards.” “I will arrange all the situations you require to do that.”

“What your heart craves for is to commune with Me in solitude!”

“Keep chanting the Name. I can’t stress this enough.”

“Freewill is a necessary myth—from the point of view of the Cosmic Drama.”

“You shall spend the coming hours as I make you to.”

“It is only I who can change people’s hearts.”

 “You carry Me inside of you—so, you are My carrier! You bear Me inside of you—so, you are My bearer!”

“Why did You set up this world, Lord?” “To cut a long story short, I just wanted to do so.” “But does God have any wants?” “Not wants in a human sense. But you could call it an inner urge. I was impelled to create the world.” “And all the suffering therein?” “That is part of the world as it is. It had to be so for the world to be the way it is. There was just no other way.”

“Is it true that we are all separate beings, each in a struggle for survival or in a quest for enlightenment or a journey to be ‘saved’, to go to Heaven or be saved from Hell, or whatever the case may be?” “No, this is not true at all even though most people see it that way. There are no separate beings as such. All beings are but forms of Me.” “Why is it that most people do not know this?” “This is because I have made it be so for them, till such time as I decree they come out of the illusion.” “And why is that so?” “That is so so that My Cosmic Drama can continue as long as I decree that it should.”

“What is the role that You have for me in this world of Yours?” “Just do as I tell you to.”

“Fill my heart with love for You.” “I am in your heart. And as for love, I say: Be loving towards My forms around you. That will fill your heart with love, and you will love Me as you should.” “What else is there for me to do, Lord?” “Nothing, actually. Just love Me, which means loving all that you see around yourself. There is nothing greater that anyone can do.” “Lord, make me natural in my love.” “May it be so.”

“Lord, what is my main task to do?” “Your main task to do is to love everyone who comes your way in life, including those who hate you, insult you, scorn you, despise you, mock you, try to put you down. This is the task I want you to do. Part of the task may also entail you telling them about Me.”

“Be true to yourself. Be authentic. Try to consciously bring to mind that every being that comes your way is Me.”

“Doing itself isn’t the end. The end is to love, and if doing can be a means for that, then do.”

“God has His mysterious ways of getting His ends met.”

“The creative life you seek is to be creatively loving, how to be loving in creative ways, how to create love. Not creativity for its own sake but for expressing and promoting love.” “Then, God, send me the beings You want me to love.” “I am sending them to you all the time. Love those who are nearest to you, in terms of physical proximity.” “But, Lord, what if some of them hate me and spurn my love?” “Try it out and see. Don’t jump to conclusions. Often, fear prevents one from loving, the fear of rejection.” “To love people, I need to go out and interact with them.” “Love not only humans but all other life forms, too. Love all the beings who may come your way without your having to go out of your way specially to look for them. Love all those I send your way. In that will be your life’s ‘success’.” “But much of the time I’m not interacting with anyone, so the number of people I can love is small.” “Love even one person if he is the only person who comes your way some day. Besides, you regularly interact with non-human beings.”

Oh to share love for a while,

To hold their hand and exchange a smile,

To giggle or laugh or simply nod,

Give me many such chances, God.

“Your mission in life is to be loving towards as many beings you can be. To fail to love someone is okay but then you should try to make up for that, such as by behaving in a loving manner with them, requesting God to bless them, etc..” “Your mission in life is simply to love—to try to love, genuinely so, whoever comes your way.”
