The creature consoles the Creator


My God, though all religions may be what they are, so before Easter I would like like to go the Catholic way. I came across this sentence which Mother Mary is saying against Jesus her son just before he is facing his torture and his death:

“Because we know that our obedience comforts the eternal father. Oh! For me in particular what that thought is! I, a creature, have been granted, to console my creator!”*

Would You like to comment on this?

My son, how could I not comment on this, the great subject for God Who has mankind under Its care? This is the fascination of every Spark of God Who is working day and night for the spiritual development of Its earthly creature. I will love to go into this.

You console Me when you
  • think of Me
  • your heart opens up to the suffering of a fellow man
  • lighten a person's life by your affection and jokes
  • become silent at the beauty of a flower
  • acknowledge My power and strength, when you think about life
  • you nourish and cherish and protect your beautiful body from decay and addiction
  • read in a conversation with someone between the lines of his words and suspect the hidden suffering and secret vulnerability
  • forsake your ego
  • you feed your personality by letting Me on the throne of your inner self
  • behold My will and laws of more importance than the world with its allurements
In short, if you diligently listen to Me and obeys Me.
You are blessed for bringing the world in memory of this phrase.

My blessings to you all

Is your life from you or from God?



During my life a friend of mine (via her guru Babaji, a Kriya Yogi) learned me to entrust. That is to say, I am saying to God: "God, I've done this and that. I acknowledge that everything belongs to You. And I let go everything, whatever I am trying, whatever how it's running, whatever it works out, whatever succesfull or not. I’ll give it back to life, I give it back to You, in short, I entrust it to You. You’ll better know how everything works and how to proceed and what everything means, you’ll better know than me.
Why is it it important to entrust it all, all the time?

All the time entrusting everything makes the personality acknowledg you have got everything. You haven’t done anything, but it all has done to you. You do not act, but are being acted. It is living in truth. The ego demands everything so easily and fast, and is thinking he/she is the center of the universe and is considering oneself an autonomous and independent being, and having everything in control.

We think this is always touching, were it is actually ridiculous. Man proclaming from the house-tops that he/she has nothing to do with someone else, figuring it out for oneself, believing nothing, wanting to be left alone, staying independent.
In
the spiritual world one is having fun then, with some head-shaking: if hundreds of spiritual beings are maintaining a personality on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual level and helping and caring and repairing everything possible and at the same this personality is claiming loudly ”there is no God, and man is all alone in the universe”. Funny and ridiculous.

The personality easily thinks oneself to be really something, is putting oneself on the inner throne, and on deeper level is only relying on own talents and will and capacities. Unprecedented pride and hidden uncertainty accompany the self-conceit of the ego. This is a source of confusion and unhappiness, in the long run.
The Buddha has rightly said on the ego:
"your cruel master does not exist".


By asking beforehand for the blessing of an activity and the subsequent entrusting, you enlarge the chance your personality is realizing God is doing everything in you, God is making everything possible in you and herewith you will realize our true relation.
God is becoming more Man in you, you are becoming stronger by staying in God.

This attitude of entrusting is making you increasingly recognize and feel that God is the Creator, the Doer, and you the creature, the instrument of God acting on earth. If you want, you can become a perfect and transparent instrument, a real persona (mask), and behind this mask God is in charge. What you call a real personality is in fact evidence of a large degree of impersonality.
In this manner you are taking a turn for the better, heading to the direction of God.
That is your destination.


The Mother Mary was knowing this already in Her early years. She accepted this method of entrusting to God as her one and only true lifestyle, that’s why she progressed harder than most people.
Saul changed into Paul on his way to Damascus, Christ "helped" him here on the path of surrender, the path of true life, the realization and fulfillment of the First Commandment: I am thy God and thou shalt have no other gods.
Learn to entrust, again and again, and everything in your life will flow.


My blessings to you all
