My Dear Ones,
In my role as a
Guide I work with people in an intense way, trying to lead them to their own seat
of power where they can manage their lives successfully but this is not always
an easy task. There are those who have a great desire to get to their seat of
power but have neither the patience nor discipline to do so. There are others,
too, who after experiencing some success in touching the inner space of power
think that they can use this new found energy and confidence to 'enjoy' the material
world. Lured by the desire for pleasure and power they turn their attention on
goals that bring short term satisfaction but not true happiness. Of course, the
true goal of life is to sit in the seat of inner power enjoying the world for
what it is but not being attached to it. Just sitting in the seat of inner power
is a joy in itself - the supreme joy. A true seeker after happiness would go the
full journey being committed, disciplined and focussed. My greatest joy is working
with those who are committed to the full journey.
When I am intensely
working those who show great interest and meet with the situation where some have
a strong desire to slow down or make a detour into the arena of sense pleasure
and secular power I let go. Of course, in letting go there may be a little human
disappointment in seeing a good student falling back. But the deeper part of me
immediately sees the wisdom of letting go lovingly. The awareness that spontaneously
arises is that the Universe will take care in the perfect way and there is nothing
to worry about. The Universe is the true Teacher and I am just an instrument.
So I lovingly say. "Yes, please do as your heart bids you...all will be well.
The Universe will take care of you."
The Universe operates on the
very powerful Law of Cause and Effect or karma and no one escapes this law. This
is what makes the Universe such a great teacher. If you go after sense pleasures
ignoring the greater joy that is within you, soon enough pain will be your companion
and lead you to reflect upon and review your lifestyle. If you pursue and delight
in secular power the Universe will show you that in the same way, It gives power
and It also takes way. So those who are attached and cannot let go will be painfully
tested. The Universe will force the true seeker back on the path as it is the
only way to true happiness.
If you are a true seeker, beware of the temptations
and the tests that will come to you. The Universe is a powerful teacher that no
one can escape. Be wise in your seeking. If you can see the goal before you and
have the desire to achieve it deep within you then beware of temptations that
will tend to divert your attention and energy. Spare yourself the pain if you
can.
In loving service,
Vasudeva
