uestion:
Could you suggest a prayer that would strengthen one's spirit when
facing the difficulties of daily living?
ri Gurudev:
Would you like to know my prayer? My prayer is very simple.
"Lord, I know that it is all Your form. It's all Your name. It's all Your
deed. And it's all for good."
ou
are an instrument in the hands of the Super Consciousness; it functions
through you as an individual consciousness. You are a little cell, and that
Cosmic Consciousness makes you function. You don't do anything, so why worry
about anything? All you have to do is know, "Yes, God is working through
me. Credit or demerit goes to Him. I am not responsible. I am simply an
instrument. God, I know you are the one who is using me."
f
your life is like that, if you fully realize this truth, where is the
difficulty for you? You are not even giving yourself into the hands of God. Who
are you to even give? Simply know that you are already in the hands of God.
Would you have any burden in life after such a realization? No. How peaceful
you would be, how happy you would be.
o
that's my prayer, "God, let me always remember that it is You and You
alone working through this instrument. Whatever comes should go to You. It's
not mine. People may praise me. Fine, the praise is Yours. By putting a garland
around my neck, they are really honoring You. They may kick me out; it's You
they are kicking. You are the one doing the kicking too. Having created me, You
get the kick out of it. Why should I worry about it?"
tell you, that's the simplest way. You can be totally, totally free from any problem in life. I'm positive about that.
