There’s a divine spark
within each of us. Be guided by it at each time, through each experience, in
Life!
As a New Year begins, there’s a fervent prayer in
every beating heart that these 12 months must fill our lives with peace and joy!
But as the New Year’s energies wear off, so does our enthusiasm. ‘Life-as-Usual’
takes over and we struggle with our everyday challenges. Sometimes we become
depressive. At other times we are anxious and worried. As the year chugs along
we often find our lives uninteresting and lacking lustre. When tragedies
strike, as they always will, we curse our fate and believe that Life – and God –
has been unfair to us.
This is clearly not a very intelligent way to live.
You – and I – have been created to enjoy Life. Not to merely endure it. Life
never promised, nor does it guarantee, any fair-play. It is your expectation
from Life that makes you classify mere events in your Life as fair or unfair.
At a very elementary level Life is simple. And beautiful. You complicate it by setting
certain conditions to Life. And one of those conditions is that, because you
are honest, hardworking and sincere, nothing should go wrong with your Life.
But Life has a mind of its own. Anything can and will happen to anyone.
Anytime. In all such times, instead of seeking answers and solutions – or pinning
the blame on people and circumstances – outside of you, look within. You will
find your godhead, your divinity, within you. Allow yourself to be led by your divinity.
Just let go and surrender to it!
Your inner surrender will not necessarily change
your external circumstances. Your relationship challenge may still persist.
Your struggling business may still gasp for cash. Your health problem may
continue to prevail. You may still be out of job. But deep within you, you will
feel peace. Your heart will be on a song. You will feel bliss. Despite all the
challenges that you are faced with, you will be enthusiastic about Life. And
that’s because the God, the divinity, within you is at work. The word
enthusiasm has a Greek root. ‘en’ means ‘within’ and ‘theos’ means ‘God’ in Greek! So, enthusiasm is really about experiencing
the God (godhead, divinity) within you!
Here’s hoping this year
gives you plenty of opportunity to explore and experience your inner divinity,
to feel good and be enthusiastic about Life!
I wish from my heart sir, that this year you get recognized for your talents and superiority of mind
