What is your effort today?
To reach somewhere, to get to the goal, to find your genuine place on the spiritual path, you have to move. You have to make your efforts. To expect that something of the outside will change or that someone will come to rescue you are useless desires. Because such desires will disempower you and keep you stuck in one place. To truly make progress, to truly find the great peace of the inside that everyone longs for, you have to become your own champion firstly. You have to learn to get up when life has knocked you down. Again and again and again you have to get up. And never give up until the end. And how you get back up. Is it through bitterness? Is it through anger? Is it through despair? Or. Is it through immense faith in your innermost strength? Is it through a deep connection of the inside which remains even when everything else is lost? How you get back up matters. It matters a lot. In fact, that is what makes all the difference in the world. Because when you’re stuck in your own negative space, you can’t even see Bhagavan’s, the SatGuru’s, help entering your life. You can’t see how much He wishes to be your champion. You won’t see that He is helping you through the various opportunities that life presents. And everyone gets opportunities. Everyone gets endless opportunities. Day after day after day Bhagavan sends help. But one doesn’t see it. One doesn’t grab it. What has been your effort today to see God’s grace in your life? What has been your effort today to make life more beautiful, more loving, more peaceful for yourself and others? What has been your effort today to move closer to the SatGuru’s unconditionally loving heart? Be sincere with your answers to these questions every day and change what needs to change to keep growing in life and love.
