Touching the Soul
One is born with the dream of many desires. During his life he concentrates on them and manages to fulfill some of the many. And at the time of death he leaves with the pain in his heart of his unfulfilled desires.
One wants only to receive what another has already or he wants only to show another what he has and the other does not have yet…
One can never stir the soul with the fulfillment of a desire. It is only the mind that rejoices in receiving what it has concentrated on for some time. The soul is always the witness of the mind’s joy… never a part of it…
When one sees all that comes to him as the gift of God and His grace and without a thought, he gives all that he has received for the benefit of mankind… then in return he experiences a silent mind… and a joy that emanates in waves from his soul.
The joy one receives from the mind is temporary. For one second the mind will rejoice upon an easy receiving and then the very next moment it will taunt you on your limited success.
The mind is like a stomach with a hole. Whatever you feed it, it takes for some time, and then it leaks and becomes empty again. It then growls until you feed it with a fulfillment of yet another desire.
No doubt you have to think in order to do but you do not have to do whatever you think…
No one can give you peace. Until you have served your soul… fully without a speck of impurity, until then you shall not know that peace is never given or received… peace is the nature of the soul that is unhindered by any thought and any circumstance.
The outcome of every wish is a million thoughts. You must not worry if they shall be fulfilled… you must concentrate on not wishing a “wish” ever again…
You begin to dislike anything or anyone who comes in the way of your wishes… And when the wish does come to fruition one begins to realize that he lost much more to fulfill this wish rather than gaining anything…
The one who gains all the riches of this world is still not happy. He keeps his worldly wealth aside and goes in search of his own soul!
One becomes impure in order to gain what he wishes and after he receives his wish he cries and begs for his soul to rejoice in his win… but the soul with its silence reminds him that his win was another loss…
To be in constant touch with the soul one has to do always what is “right” and be always in the company of the absolute truth…
The soul is the eternal companion of every being. It shall never deceive you… The mind on the other hand befriends you for one moment and deceives you the very next…
First say to yourself, “I must be good…” Inspire yourself and be in the right… Say to yourself, “I will do not only what is right for me… I will do… think… speak… only what will make me respect myself when I am in the presence of God… And I am in His presence at every moment whether I see it or not, know it or not, and remember it or not. God is there with me… right now”
