What is the role that the Divine has come to play in our lives?
He's the repairer of broken hearts and damaged four-fold instruments of mind, intellect, memory, and ego.
He's like the smith, who welds, mends and sets right.
The Divine will be waiting outside the door of the worship room of the devotee, anxious to fulfil their wish!
Verily, one who has Him as his Servant — that one is the real Divine! Only, do not allow your faith to falter.
Do not become a slave to others; no, not even to the Divine.
Test. Test, examine, and experience. When you find Him, demand as if it is your right. But before you get that right, you should appear for the examination and pass, is it not?
He set tests not as a punishment or because he enjoys putting you into trouble but just to give you the joy of passing! Also, do not yield to despair or become dejected.
It is his resolve that you progress in spiritual development. He has collected all of you and shall lay the concrete foundation and build the walls and erect the roof and complete the mansion.
His resolve never proves ineffective.
- Divine Discourse, Oct 17, 1961.
I have come to light the lamp of Love in your hearts, to see that it shines day by day with added lustre.
