The Fierce Yogis of Southern Kailash | Sadhguru

Never underestimate the power of God to bring about what you pray for. God saves those we have been praying for for years!

Recently, in my life, I have had some minor and major crisis facing myself and some of those I love and care for. Please note, I did not say in the title “go all the way through with prayer”, I said in the title “start with prayer”. It will calm you down firstly and make any other actions clearer and more effectively succinct.

If you’re trying to do right in order to be right with God, then you’ve fallen out of grace (God’s favor). We have to get past that hurdle and understand that we are saved by the grace of God; that we have favor with God through the blood of Jesus and because “God so loved the world.” God loves the world; God saw me and He saw you and in spite of all our faults He loved us, and He still does!

Imagine meeting Jesus as some of your relatives and friends have already. As we rise in the quickest moment, to gaze upon the celestial shore, we too will meet him, face to face. Everything, in one instant, will have been worth it – being with God.

Some prayers are hard. Others are brave. And then some are just brutally honest. This is a combination of all three.

DEATH, the final reconciler of a life lived either for or against God. The fact of death separates us out from divinity, eternal. We have nothing that compares nor comprehends the fact that we will die; we will all die. We will pass from this life. Even if we didn’t believe in eternity, heaven or the afterlife, we must surely agree that this life is fleeting – it comes and then it goes, as if a candle’s flame whisked away by the wind.

There is great truth that being alone in silence is a worthwhile antidote to overcome the weight of human suffering. We languish in sorrow because outside events unsettle our sense of stability, hence to change external conditions ameliorates the pain.

WHAT is the one thing that could transform our lives for the betterment of truth and understanding? How are we to be made mature in one swift movement? Why are we not brought to spiritual perfection this instant rather than in the celestial realm? When are we to realise the life that lies in wait of our discovery?

SITTING in a cafe, annoyed by the chatter of two older men who are speaking a language I don’t understand and using loud mannerisms, and I realise afresh. “The problem is in you.”

THREATENED by the compassionate strength in a new believer, Satan attacks them, making life a misery, when the new believer actually stands on the precipice of God’s gorgeous truth. An experienced believer is cut down by a grief attending that will not let go, and the experienced believer is tempted to give up on life.

Social media is like anything in this world, i.e., projected thoughts with the content of the ego wrong mind. Online attacks in the community for A Course in Miracles (ACIM) are via the many comments, quotes and other postings wherein we respond to our interpretation which then becomes the justification for our response (T-12.I.1) or our reason for posting, etc. All students have a basic confusion between form and content as well as what it means to join so let’s not sugar coat it: Social media is forms (projected content of the ego wrong mind) from joining with the wrong mind. Therefore, from the outset it is a series of attacks until we forgive and start identifying (joining) with the right mind.

The present moment is nearer than our breath itself. Yet it is breathing and awareness that draw us into the now. Enthusiasm exists only here and now.
