That is all

Let Us All Remember the Real Truth

It doesn’t matter what form you choose to worship. As long as your interest is in recognizing and realizing the presence of that Spirit, you can approach It in any form you like. If you don’t care for any of the traditional forms that have been handed to us over the ages, you can create your own form and God will come to you as that. There is no limit to God’s expression. God need not be put into only a few categories. God is ready to send Itself in any form that will help you to realize that Spirit. God is essentially nameless, formless, omnipresent. If you say, “God is omnipresent,” then it is nonsense to say, “God is only this.”

It is easy to say the words: “God is omnipresent, omnipotent, omniscient,” but hard to fully understand. If we stop to think of the real meaning of the words, then all this limiting of God doesn’t make any sense. However, our mental capacities are limited. The mind cannot truly understand the unlimited One. It is to give us something to focus on that we limit something that is unlimited. We need that help to go beyond the limitation and realize the One or God.

That is the reason for all the forms and names we use in worship. Whatever form or name we may choose, let us all remember the real Truth of the limitless, formless, omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent One behind them all.

See That Everything Is Thankful to You

On Thanksgiving Day, we thank God for providing us with all our needs. We should be thankful always; but if we forget, then at least this one day should be kept aside especially for that. All of the nicest things that we have come from God. God has provided us with everything. Even our bodies, our intelligence. The earth on which we live. The plants, the seeds, the food, the fruit. God has given us everything.

Nature and God are one and the same. Nature is another name for God. So sometimes if you don’t feel comfortable with the name “God,” you can say, “Nature provided everything.” We should be thankful to the Nature; is it not so? We should be thankful to the Mother Nature, Mother Earth, Mother Sky, Mother Rain, Mother Wind.

Thanksgiving Day is a special day to remember to be thankful always for all the things we have. Not just to God, but to everyone. We always give and take, give and take, give and take; therefore we should be thankful to each other, and to each and everything in Nature.

And ultimately to that one great power, the one great intelligence that we call God. It’s not possible for us to return in kind all that we get from Nature. How can we fulfill our obligation? It’s impossible. The only way is to remember and to be grateful.

Not only should we be thankful to everything, but everything should be thankful to us also. We should see that all the things are thankful to us by behaving properly, treating them well. We should see that we don’t hurt anyone, we don’t harm anyone or anything. Let all those beings be thankful to us also. Everything. Even your book, for example. If you throw the book aside, the book won’t thank you. If you take good care of the book, read it gently, and close it gently, see that the covers are well kept, then the book also will be thanking you.

So, let us keep this idea in our life and see that we always give thanks to others, and see also that others would thank us for our proper behavior.
