Why should we choose to make the Divine, our best friend?
Modern friends come close to you as long as there is money in your pocket and your father has a high position. They will say, ‘hello, hello’ to you.
When your pocket is empty or your father has retired, they will leave you immediately.
The Divine is not like that. He is always with you, in you, above you, and below you.
He is your real friend. It is only Him who will protect you in difficulties.
The Divine will always be with you. He is the embodiment of eternal bliss, wisdom absolute, beyond the pair of opposites, and expansive and pervasive like the sky.
The Divine will never forsake you. Have friendship with such a true Friend. Then only will your life as a human being become worthwhile.
When you have such a friend, you will never fall short of anything. Troubles and difficulties can never bother you. You will always be blissful.
- Divine Discourse, Apr 7, 1993.
The Divine alone is totally selfless as friend and benefactor.
