Thought of the Day
Relation with God means only God is ours. It is an eternal relation, filled with true devotion, freedom, rendering of proper service to all, acceptance of all situations and worshipful reverence to God.
The more that a man believes in his relationship with the world, the people and the things in this world, that much he becomes subservient and dependent on them. If man were to acknowledge his relation with only God, then he would become independent and free for ever.
If an aspirant considering himself to be only God's renders service to the world, then the work done will be rendering proper service both to the world and God. But if he considers himself as belonging to this world and does work, then he will not be properly serving the world, and the work done will definitely not be God's work (worship, pujaa).
God is ours, but not for ourselves, but we are for God. The meaning is that we do not desire anything from God, rather we want to offer ourselves to Him. And even the worst of situations and circumstance that come our way, we must understand these as being ordained by Bhagwaan (God), thus remain ever happy.
A husband may die, he can leave his wife, inspite of knowing all these things a new bride does not worry while going to her new home (after marriage). But God neither dies, nor does he ever leave us, then what is the worry in having a relationship with God? God is the only one who knows how to hold, but never to let go.
Even though nothing is impossible for God, it is not possible for God to move away from us.
Besides God no one else is ours - this is true devotion.
Only God is ours, whereas the things acquired are all God's.
Things have been given to us to utilize for a good purpose. But for ourselves, only God is ours. Therefore put things to good use for the world, whereas engage your Self in only God.
A devotee must look not at his qualifications, rather must only look at the feeling of mineness with God.
"I belong to God and God is mine" - There is no other quality, ability compared to this.
