Lack of inner self-confidence will cluster a human mind with worries and unknown fears..

The lack of inner self-confidence
has made the human mind cluster
with worries and unknown fears.

With that continuous stream of worry,
one has become attached to his worldly gains.

Attachment has led to selfishness,
and in this mode of imperfection,
he functions only in the stream of his own desires.

He fears that all the pain
and wrong he suffers from
is the will of God, and whatever
gives him the momentary happiness,
is the fruits of his efforts to be able
to survive in the savage world.

In this ignorance,
he has made the Lord the blame
and his mind, he has made the master.

In such a state of confusion,
he expects happiness to stay with him.

Can happiness
stay with the one
that lives only to fulfill his own dreams?

No! My child!
Happiness will never come
to the one that builds the walls around him -
the one that lives in the world of the "I"
will experience its pains, too.

One must break
the walls of his own illusions,
and only then, will he realize that
only in selflessness lies the true state of happiness.

The one that "expects"
from life will only live in its fears
and in the entanglement of possessiveness.

The one that learns
to "accept" life will live in peace
and in complete harmony between
his own self and the Universal Spirit.

Hence, My dear,
do not fight to be happy -
do not steal to be happy,
for such happiness will give you
the pain of appearing to come
and then leaving you the very instant it reached you.

Such happiness,
is not true happiness -
its teasing will only tempt you
to do more evil, in order to possess it.

Happiness that is
possessed is vindictive.
Hence, it is not happiness, anymore -
it is only a state of pleasure desired
by the mind and that which is desired,
is bound to leave as easily as it came.

Do not be foolish
to believe in such
a kind of happiness, anymore.

Believe in the kindness
and in the giving nature
of your own true self.

Believe that you
have come to be with God.
Serving Him must be the
only state of your fulfillment.

Believe that you are happy
with whatever He has given -
believe that no one has any
intentions of malice towards you -
believe all to be a part of your love -
believe that the Lord has chosen this life for you -
believe that your contentment is the Lord's fulfillment -
believe, and you will be happy.

You will be happy,
God promises - once you know
and realize that God and you are
the two different forms of the one love -
the one love that gave birth to all its creation,
in its different forms of the one love -
the one love that gave birth to all its creation, in its own image.

Love is happiness -
happiness is the lover of love -
it is only the servant - never the slave!
It is the expression of true devotion,
it is the faith of life's goal,
it is the persistence of one's true purpose,
it is the patience that reveals the Lord's every miracle!
