I know this cliff very well. I have spent almost 40 years there. Many of the excuses that lie within the vast cave
s of this cliff, I probably created.

This cliff was formed on the self-imposed limitations of human creation. It stands tall and erect and takes your personal power to feed itself every time the words "I can't" are uttered.

On the other side of this cliff is an ocean called "I will". As you stand on the cliffs of "I can't'" you can almost hear the rustling of the ocean waves that carry the energy of your "will".

It is easy to stand on the Cliffs, there is a ground under your feet, many gather in your presence there, and you find comfort in all the excuses laid at your feet like a soft rug.

We could feed the excuses of the cliff for an ete
ity. We can stand steadfast and believe the vast excuses of the overflowing echos of I can't. It is familiar and we are within our own safe space there, with tons of company and we feed each other quite healthily here.

The sounds of the ocean and the laughter from the few souls who gather to swim in the depths of "I will" start to echo in the space around this mountainous cliff. You start to think to yourself; they sound so happy, but there is so much risk in that ocean. I would have to trust, but this mountain is my home. I feel safe withi
"I can't".

The "will" of the ocean is starting to call you home, to your real home. Where life is a sea of possibilities. Where all that you desire, from the truest and purest depths of your heart, are waiting to manifest within each wave that brakes ashore.

There are no excuses in this vast see. Only trust that your highest good is always being cared for, and that what your heart truly desires will come with ease as it swims the currents of "I will".

For those of you who stand steadfast on the cliff of "I can't", are you ready to take that leap of faith and swim of the sea of "I will", and know that your deepest desire will manifest without effort?

Can you hear the sound from the waves saying, "I have provided for all your needs in life. I have endlessly stood by you in your every moment. 'I will' be there now, trust my sea of Will!!"

What would you be willing to sacrifice? Can you leap from the cliff to the ocean and allow yourSelf to be swept away by the will for the Creator?

Would you dedicate 30 minutes every day to meditate and really get to know yourself? Would you be willing to help a stranger when you yourself needs help? Would you be willing to be the very change you seek in this world? Are you willing to let go of fear, which only serves to eat away at your quality of life?

Everyone can do this, what is your willingness to do so for yourSelf?

With deep love, light, and joining of the hands and heart in the free fall, and beautiful sacrifice!

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
