The Supreme Lord

The relationship between us and the Lord is that of a part to the whole. There is no distinction between the ocean and the waves. There is no difference between the sun and its rays. The Lord is never unmindful of us even for a moment. He is always looking after us. We have never been separated from him. He is always with us and pervades our entire being. …

If we become childlike, the Lord himself watches over us. But when we grow in our intellect and begin to reason and ruminate, then we feel unhappy. If we turn to him and hold fast to his garment, live in the world but not let go our hold of him, as a child does with his mother, we will be happy. Beg of him, eat and drink and cry out, “O mother! I am yours, whether dutiful or otherwise. I am in your lap. Where else could I go if I left you?” But this should, however, be said with love, truth and simplicity. There should be no cleverness about it. The waywardness of upright children is forgiven. The Lord also relishes love, simplicity and faith. …

Continue to be children of God. Do not surrender the rights of your precious patrimony. Know the Lord as immanent and conscious. Remember him as a living entity. Have devotion. …

Some regard him as father, others as mother or friend or husband. You may remember him in any role or relationship. There need be no dispute about it. They all mean the same thing although in different words. Create love for him in your heart.
