Guruji’s message to you all on 26th January 2023
“My Guruji Mahavatar Babaji has told me that he is pleased with my disciples as they are dedicated to the spiritual path. He then said that they need to be more surrendered to God.
It is a great blessing to hear that Mahavatar Babaji is pleased that those of you who are following this path are dedicated, because it is only those who are dedicated who will reach their goal of Self-realisation, which is what I want for you all.
I understand that not all of you who are reading this message are still practising the meditation that I taught you or perhaps not very regularly, and that is fine as everyone goes at their own pace. What Guruji told me is about those of you who are doing your best to follow this Yoga of Lord Shiva path.
My help is always there for you regardless of your level of practice. If some of you who have not practiced this meditation for a long time would like to attend another Third Eye Awakening and OM Meditation class you are very welcome to.
Now to address the second part of what Mahavatar Babaji said about you needing to be more surrendered to God.
It is normal not to be surrendered to God when you are starting on the spiritual path in this life or when you are still learning. It is not to say that some of you are not surrendered because some of you are. The point is, being surrendered to God on the spiritual path is of extreme importance.
What does it mean to be surrendered to God?
It means that you understand that all that happens to you in life is God’s will for you, and that you completely accept everything that He gives you without any resistance to it. If you have complete faith in God, you will be able to completely surrender to Him.
It is your struggle with what life (God) gives you that shows that you are not surrendered. Accepting what God gives you unconditionally gives you a level of peace in your life. If what you have been given is a difficulty that can be removed with effort then you should strive to remove that difficulty, but don’t struggle with the fact that God has given you that difficulty in the first place. If you are at odds with what God is doing in your life then you are not leaving yourself open completely to His grace that will draw you closer and closer to Him. It is only when you are truly surrendered to God that you can realise your onenesss with Him in Self-realisation.
I am not expecting you all to be fully surrendered to God straight away because it takes time to build that surrender with your increasing faith in Him. But one day you can make that leap of being surrendered to Him no matter what He does to you, because your faith in His wisdom and divinity will be untouchable. God will help you with building your faith in Him and surrender to Him by giving you certain experiences that reinforce that faith. Whether it is the gurus’ intercession at times of troubles or the divine upliftment that they bless you with, or how God manifests to you in your meditation or in outside life. God will test your faith and surrender as you progress on the spiritual path, and if you pass the tests He will lift you up higher to Him accordingly. Those who reach the heights of awareness of God enjoy the deep inner peace and tranquility of His presence, His uplifting Joy and all-consuming Bliss.
Don’t be hard on yourself if you lose faith in God momentarily if something happens to you in your life that seems to be far beyond your comfort zone. Everyone has to learn to build the necessary understanding and trust. Aways remember God will never give you something that you can’t handle, even if you can’t see it at the time. If you fall, just pick yourself up and carry on going with a renewed spirit and you will succeed. Have the attitude that you will never give up on any tests of life and with that firm resolution you will succeed. Remember whatever you go through in life, God and gurus are always holding your hand. Remember to hold their hand back and you will always have all of the strength that you need.
So, from today onwards say “Lord I am happy with whatever you give me because I know it is the next step on the ladder of Self-realization. I will strive to look upon all that You give me with the right attitude and use it to grow spiritually. Whether I have to muster the strength to overcome a trial that you give me, or endure a great difficulty for some time, or practice a spiritual quality such as tolerance towards others, I will do so gladly with Your name on my lips and love in my heart for You. I am Yours, all that is in my life is Yours, I humbly offer myself and my life to You wrapped in a bouquet of love and devotion. Take me into your heart of Love and never leave me again. All I want is You, nothing else has any value except Your Lotus Feet my Beloved. Do with me what You will, but never leave me my Beloved Lord.”
Love and blessings always
Jagatguru Satyam
