PERSPECTIVE 1

I’ve been reading The Golden Present: Daily Inspirational Readings by Sri Swami Satchiananda with my (high protein) breakfast.

This hit:

“Shout for help. If you need God’s help, just be spontaneous. If you feel like crying to him, cry. Shout for help. All the great saints, all their prayers, we’re literally shouting to God for help. ‘God, have mercy on me!’

If you say that even once with your entire heart, you are sure to get his help immediately. God knows whether you are calling for his help sincerely or not. When you look for God, you should know nothing else is going to help you. Sincere prayer comes only when you are tired of everything, when you know fully well that nothing else but God will save you. As long as you depend on yourself a little, God waits.”

PERSPECTIVE 2

I wrote this in Bless & Release: Sign #12 that you’re a Super Blesser—a conscious creator:

Your self-reliance is unshakable. You know that you’re capable of powerful healing and creation. This self-awareness deepens your connection with the divine and everyone you come into contact with.

PERSPECTIVE 3

From the Sufi of all Sufi’s…

What you seek is seeking you.
— Rumi

A HANDY LISTICAL FOR YOU

1. Have the courage to receive what Life wants to give you.

2. When your courage dips, ask God for mercy—do it with all your heart. THIS is how you come to know that you are beloved—and of course life wants you to be blessed and happy.

3. Exhale. Exercise your gifts. Show up fully to receive.

4. Add protein. Repeat.

Next week I’m going to say more about WANTING WHAT’S MEANT FOR YOU. I’ve come to see this as the keynote of the spiritual path. Challenging. Blissful. Finally.

AND… this is turning out to be one of the most mentioned teachings in Bless & Release. Which I was secretly hoping for.

With Earnest striving and Sweet Surrender…

WITH LOVE,
