Gurunathar’s Divine Message Moolam Pooja 27-11-2011
I would like to answer one specific question. “Has God set me aside?”. The answer is simple. God is always in front of us. However in reality we neither understand nor realize this – this is our mistake. It is not the fault of God. If we are to constantly sense the presence of God the practice is we should regularly follow some methods of worship. I would say it is foolish if you were to conclude after ten or fifteen minutes of worship. “God has now gone away from me”. A number of people have this problem. It is a mental illusion or fallacy to expect after a short period of worship that you should be able to sense the presence of God and that He should grant you darshan. Spiritual sadhana is not the work of one or two days. It is the achievement of several years of work. And this must be done without any kind of expectation – only then will it be possible for you to sense the presence of God. Do not feel downhearted to hear this for this alone is the truth. Still to render this Kaliyugam tolerable cultivate the belief that God is constantly by your side. This is the best way to seek Him. It is true that we become more dedicated in our actions and way of thinking if we believe that He is constantly with us. When our parents are with us do we not avoid undesirable actions? You must show a similar respect towards God- you may feel that he is always with you in your homes and that when you leave your homes to mingle with the outside world He comes with you. Your mistakes will then surely decrease. Your mental strength will increase and you shall achieve all that you want. I would also tell you not to regret that things have not happened as you have planned. No one should feel any such regret. Remember the saying that if everything happened the way we wished where then would you find God’s will? So accept all that has happened as His will and be contented is what I would advice.
