38. The Jest on my Chest

-
As the Highest of the High I am the Wisest of the Wise, yet I have
allowed myself to perform an act more foolish than any fool ever
would. What is this foolish act of mine? Creating the CREATION.
Creation is really a mighty joke, but the laugh is at my own
expense—and now the jest is proving a burden on my chest.
Sometimes I am so tired I feel like going to sleep for 700 years.
To the fool a foolish act is most natural and effortless. But can you
imagine the Most Wise exerting himself and stretching out to
perform an act which is opposite to his attribute of Wisdom! That
is why I say you can have no idea of what I mean when I say I am
tired—it is beyond human understanding.

5.Love of Woman and God

-
5.Love of Woman and God A man loves a woman who is living in a distant place. His love causes him to be thinking of her all the time; and he cannot eat and he cannot sleep. His thoughts are only on his separation  from her and he continually longs for her. When this longing  becomes too great, he either goes to her or he compels her to   come to him. This is called  physical love. To love God one should think of God, long for God and suffer  the fire of separation until one's longing reaches its utmost  limits, and God the Beloved comes to the lover and his thirst is  quenched in union with God. This love is called Ishk-e-Haqqiqi, and is a gift from God. But one who obeys the Master who is One with God, need not  suffer these things, for in obedience is the Grace of the Master.

28. The Divine Response

-
The moment you try to understand God rather than love Him you begin to misunderstand Him, and your ignorance feeds your ego. Mind cannot reach that which is beyond it. God is infinite and beyond the reach of Mind. The Divine Will that brought forth this infinite Illusion expresses itself in all its purity through me to make you turn away from Illusion towards God-consciousness. Every moment I respond to the whole of creation. My response, being divine, is wholly from love. The many faces of that one response as you see them, are but the reflections of your manymirrored mind. You view and judge my actions from your level of understanding and attempt to differentiate them in the light of your own limited standards of values. And so you misinterpret the different shades of my response to different people. Being unlimited I am simultaneously on all levels of consciousness; and, as such, in my response I differentiate one from the other solely in the light of their impressions (sanskaras), ...

13. Do Not Seek and You Will Find

-
13. Do Not Seek and You Will Find 'Seek and you shall find' has become such a commonplace that spiritual aspirants have begun to wonder what it means. To them I say, Do not seek and you will find. Do not seek material pleasure and you will find the spiritual treasure.This means, seek only God by not seeking material pleasures, and you will find God. You can only seek God through self-denial. The spiritual treasure cannot be obtained by merely stretching out your hand for it. Only in the completeness of self-denial can the spiritual treasure become self-evident. There are three ways of obtaining the spiritual treasure: To earn it yourself by self-denial; To receive it as a spontaneous gift from God given to His lover whose self has become effaced in the intensity of his longing for his Beloved; To inherit it directly from the Perfect Master who bequeaths it to those who remain completely resigned to His will. Therefore if you wish ...
