The one who is filled with love has great peace of mind, is pure at heart and is unruffled by any adverse circumstances, failures or losses. This fortitude is derived from love of the Lord, and it endows one with self-confidence. Self-confidence generates an immense internal power. Everyone has to develop this power to experience the bliss of the Self (Atma-Ananda). Love should be free from feelings of expectation of any return or reward. Love which arises out of a desire for something in return is not true love. Utterly selfless and motiveless love should be developed. This is the bounden duty of all. You should not pray to God seeking this favor or that, for your vision is limited. None of you can fathom what immensely precious, Divine and magnificent treasures lie when you secure the treasure-house of Divine Grace.
The time we went to Baba we experienced that love and the peace of mind because Baba is the connection between the tank of God's grace and the water taps. Due to his presence, we experienced the water taps as flowing and some even projected it in undesirable objects and the beautiful love got contaminated by that.
We didn't have to get aware of the difference between the water taps and the tank full of the divine grace of God, the treasure-house of Divine Grace, because he did it for us.
But now he has left the body and we cannot just go and get the same experience of divine love as we did before and now we have to face it, if we are able to experience that divine love or not.
It seems everybody had another explanation why he experienced that 'love', only not the right one. But we have met self-confidence in Baba's presence and the internal power and therefore, we know what he is talking about, the question is just, where is it gone now?
Most of us didn't know what they were doing and we went ahead anyhow assuming that someday we will know.
This fortitude is derived from love of the Lord, and it endows one with self-confidence. Self-confidence generates an immense internal power.
We think maybe that we have been blessed by his presence and that we did everything right, even if we didn't know what it was exactly what we were doing and we didn't have to accept right action, as long as Baba was present upholding Dharma, right action and we thought it was easy to accept that there was truth, what we met during Darshan and now when Baba has left the body there is no more Darshan.
We probably thought that we were very special that Baba just gave us lots of gifts and we were blessed by that and all the others who had less, they were less fortunate and it was all Baba's gift.
Everyone has to develop this power to experience the bliss of the Self (Atma-Ananda).
How do we experience the bliss of the self?
We have to experience that pure love and as he told us to be able to do that, we need three ingredients. We have to first understand peace.
How do we understand peace? We understand it in accepting the path of right action, Dharma and how do we accept the path of right action? We have to accept the path of truth.
We cannot influence is by the mind, either it is understood or not, if it is not understood, we will not have a path of peace and we will not have a path of right action and we have to accept the truth that we are not on the level of Atman and divine love, but in the mind.
It is not possible in that case to get the experience of that love and we failed our duty.
Love should be free from feelings of expectation of any return or reward. Love which arises out of a desire for something in return is not true love. Utterly selfless and motiveless love should be developed. This is the bounden duty of all. You should not pray to God seeking this favor or that, for your vision is limited.
How can we develop that selfless and motiveless love?
He explains it here; if we listen carefully we are able to hear it. It is developed by understanding the path of peace and for that we have to accept the path of right action, without right action no peace and if we accept the path of right action we have to accept the path of truth.
This is the bounden duty of all.
That is important, because it tells us that it is our all duty. We have all the same duty, to reach that state of 'love' to be able to connect the tank of God's grace with the water taps.
If we do not reach that pure love, we are not in the right duty.
If the grace of God is flowing, the universe will be okay. That is Baba's message to all of us and it is all our bound duty to make the experience of that love to be able to connect the tank of Grace of God with the water taps.
You should not pray to God seeking this favor or that, for your vision is limited.
We should not ask from God favors or that, we should not ask for anything and also not for that, because if we ask, our vision is limited.
It is not about asking or praying to God to give us favors and to expect our wishes or desires to get fulfilled, that is a limited vision. If we are in the ocean and we ask for objects and fulfillment of desires, it seems like being on the bottom of it and that is limited.
It can only be unlimited if we accept the path of peace and understand that peace and for that we have to accept the path of right action and if we accept the path of right action, we also have to accept the path of truth and only if we have those three ingredients, truth, right action and peace, we will make the experience of that love which is all our duties.
None of you can fathom what immensely precious, Divine and magnificent treasures lie when you secure the treasure-house of Divine Grace.
We can only reach that immensely precious Divine and the magnificent treasures if we secure the treasure-house of Divine Grace. God can only be reached by love. To get to that love we have to understand 'peace' and to understand peace or the path of peace, we have to accept the path of right action and if we do that, we have to accept the path of truth.
Without truth, we don't get to that love and without right action also not and without peace as well. We went to Baba and got it like a gift, due to his presence, but now we have to develop it in our own self and we have to follow his advice and listen to him.
It is not anymore just a gift we get when we go to him and there it is because he connects us with his divine presence with the tank of God's grace, now we have to practice and put into practice what we have learnt with him. Now we have to face our own truth, if we know how or if we only thought we knew and in our daily life there is no more of that love and we don't know how to get there.
That is the reality we have to accept when looking at truth, the insight that we reached the bottom of the ocean and 'you said', help us and the other woman said, 'I am hungry'.
We are all hungry for that love, but if we think it is just given to us and we have nothing to do at all not even sing Bhajans, there is no understanding about the path of peace, we are just singing. And if we just work and think it is our duty, we do not understand the path of peace and we don't know how to accept the path of right action and if we don't know that, we will have difficulties to face the path of truth, because we will not like it what we have to accept as truth.
So how do we experience that 'pure love'?
He tells us how. We have to listen and we have to do it.
We cannot just pray for it. By just praying we do not accept or understand peace and we do not have to accept the path of right action, we pray for something and we will have to accept the truth that we don't get what we ask for.
It is like my ex, he was on that level of wanting and Baba told him, 'give, give, give, you lived a dream, I will not give' he was on all levels on the wrong level. God's grace is not a tank of love only there to give, if there is no love, we cannot connect with the water taps, to make the connection to the tank of God's grace there has to be love and then only the water will flow from the water tap.
We don't get that pure love as a gift; we get it as a duty. If we are not able to connect to the tank of God's grace, there is no water flowing from the tap and that means, we didn't do our duty.
We have to listen to Baba to be able to understand what he is telling us, we have to listen and go deep into the meaning of the wisdom and we have to do it and there is no use to dream about it if we are not doing it, there is no use to think about gifts, if he doesn't give.
If we do it and we put it into practice, it will make sense, if we don't, we remain at the surface of the mind and it and as we don't do our duty, even if we think we do, we still don't do it, because there is no love and it will probably never make sense.
We cannot understand peace if we do not live it.
