I love that we are all God and Godself and that ultimatley me and myself do notnexist. It seems that we are always being asked to let go, surrender, forgive,nrelease, relinquish etc and due to the general fear based ego outlook on life,ngiving and surrendering is the most difficult thing to do. Also, forgiving isneven more difficult as we perceive that someone has wronged us. Letting go onnevery level seems to be the way forward...

If we are all god and god is all there is then logically we are only giving tonourselves. We are god giving to god. We are offered every opportunity to give to
God - to let go of the illusion of control that we think we have and surrende
our identity, ego associated achievements to god in exchange for everything wencould ever want or need. Why can we not let go of the ego based hell we havencreated to receive heaven in return? We can only ever receive whether we are thenperceived giver or not. When I care for God, God cares for me. It's reciprocalnand not personal...

It seems that 'we' have got so attached to being special and appreciated for ournuniqueness that it has become our identity. Obviously nothing to do withnreality. All we ever know is based on what we can understand and the beliefs wenhave taken to be true - that are ultimatley only our own thoughts! Crazily wenwill defend that thought to the death - there is a lot of evidence of this innthe world today... What has anyone ever achieved that is comparable to anythingnthat God can do?

It's like, as expressions/extensions of God we get the opportunity to experiencenwhat we are not in order to realise what we are. Thankfully it gets better thannthis - there is light at the end of the tunnel. We get to wake up from thisnhuman experience. What great news!

This is Gods 'game' and 'he' knows the rules and truth. Maybe if we let 'him'ntake control and listen to 'his' guidance things would be better :) God isnalways self supporting of God - 'he' would never be or could never be selfndestructive. That doesn't make sense...

It may seem like we have so much to do and life is tough if it is believed thatnit is down to you, however when you stop trying and start 'being' and allowing
God to guide then it is so much easier. Things are only tough when it'snperceived as something that YOU must do. Give to God then God gives back to younin the same spirit that it was given. Life is perfect...

Then again, I may not be the best judge of reality. As an observer I create andnsee what I want too....

To answer your question, let’s study the following words of Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, an Enlightened being, very carefully. He says: “This puzzle has come about on its own, governed by the laws of science. I am telling you that this world is run only by Scientific Circumstantial Evidences. In Gujarati, I call it 'Vyavasthit Shakti'... It is all run by scientific circumstantial evidences. The whole world is run by this energy. These words are not easy to understand, unless

It has been more than 5000 years now since the Lord Krishna’s existence. Yet, even today people worship him with utter reverence and take his name with so much of adoration in their heart. Why?
