Release
65. Fix your mind on Me and be devoted to Me, worship Me and bow down before Me, (then) you shall come to Me alone, I promise, as you are dear to Me. Please make Me, the all-pervading God, the object of all your activities, both physical and mental. Just as the wind remains clinging closely to the sky, you remain centered in Me, while doing your work. Nay, you make your mind My exclusive dwelling-place and fill your ears with My praise (1351-1355). The saints who are purified by the knowledge of Self, are My aspects. Look at these saints, as fondly as an amorous husband looks at his beautiful wife. I am the dwelling-place of all things; so make your speech fond of uttering My name. Whatever you do or wherever you go, you perform all such actions for My sake. When you render help to your kinsmen or strangers, that will constitute My worship and your Will becomes worshipper of Me. How many things should I tell you one after another? You should assume the attitude of a servant and, seeing Me in all beings, serve them (1356-1360). Then you will get rid of hatred for all being and bow to them with the knowledge that I am in all of them. In this way you will secure full refuge in Me. And then there being no third party in this crowded world, we shall have complete privacy. Then we shall be able to enjoy each other’s company which will enhance our happiness. When the barrier of a third party is removed, you will come to Me and become one with Me. When the water dries up, is there any obstacle in the way of the reflection of the sun, merging with its original (1361-1365)? Who is going to prevent the wind, from merging with the sky or the wave from getting dissolved into the sea? Whatever distinction is seen between you and Me, is due to the properties of our bodies. |
