SHILA AT 55
“The Divine Knocks at the Right Time”
“Mummy, is Jesus alive” ?
A little heart, running back from the main gate of their out house in an evening, wondered and puzzled to inform, “Jesus has come and is waiting at the main gate”.
All rushed to the out house to see a bare footed tall man, white-tanned skin, baired, a piece of cloth (red shalu) wrapped around his waist, was welcomed by the father of Shila, the little heart.
He was Lucien, the eldest son of a rich business man in England
He returned home that night, confined himself without food or water in his personal room locked from inside, and came out after seven days, left forever in search of his own higher being, came to India and got a new name “Dakshinamurti” form his GURU, The Spiritual Teacher and Guide.
After six years, in an evening Lucien, then twenty four, wondered in Howrah Station, West Bengal for the train to go to Chennai , the then Madras, when the father of Shila returning from office saw him, and proposed him to stay that night with him with a promise to arrange ticket for Madras, the next day.
Lucien was tired , returning from the Great Kumbha Mela. So he agreed. That night Lucien got high temperature, might be due to excessive physical torture and infection from the wounds in his feet. He had to stay their house for the next nineteen days as a honourable member and guest of the family.
After long eight years, Lucien returned the same house at Chanditala, District – Hooghly, West Bengal and stayed there for a month, initiated Shila, the then a young Lady of twenty one.
Shila, at the age of 55, recalls the memory of her enlightened experiences and rediscovers the hand written notes of her GURU.
“The Essence of the Spiritual Life”
God is with you at all times and in all places. You can discover God’s presence in all your experiences. You can feel God’s presence whenever you want to. You need not try to get away from anything; the essence of everything is God.
FIRST PAGE OF THE HANDWRITTEN NOTE OF LUCIEN
By meditation you will learn to live in God-consciousness. Meditation will make your mind respective to God’s power and grace so that His power will flow fully into your life and fill your life with goodness.
Nothing is impossible. By God’s grace you can do anything; but God knows what is good for you; by surrender to the will of God, God will do the most wonderful things in your life – more wonderful than you expect.
Whatever happens to you in life is done to you by God for your good; the more you welcome it, the more you will benefit from it. Do not be misled by the pleasure or pain of what happens; that will pass away; but the development that it has brought about in you will not pass away.
The most sacred scripture is the book of life. You do not need to be learned to understand the book of life; you only need to be sincere, and brave enough to face with an inquiring mind everything that happens to you in life.
The deepest and most valuable truths are written in the book of life; no other book contains so much. If you will learn to read the book of life by being awake to all that is happening to you in life, then you will find innumerable mysteries being revealed to you at every moment of living.
When you start the day in the morning, say to God; “O’ God, I am eager to see what experiences you will bring to me this day. What lessons you will teach me. I shall watch carefully everything that happens today so as not to miss things which I have failed to notice on previous days”.
O God, I surrender myself to you. Do with me as you please. This life is all a dream. I know that nothing which you have created can ever harm me. It is your “leela”, and I am happy to play in it any part which you choose for me.
Every thing that happens in life and in the world is beautiful. Sometimes we do not understand the beauty of things and we find fault with God’s creation; but the more we meditate and purify our mind the more clearly we see the beauty in everything and thus we become blissful.
The purpose of life is to become more and more wholly and intensely engaged in those activities of virtue and creative goodness which are of the Divine Leela and in which our soul feels blissfully satisfied
You have a relationship with God through all things, all your surroundings, and all living beings around you. The more you meditate and the more you become pure and wise the more you become aware of this relationship and the deeper this relationship becomes.
Good is present every where and in every thing. God is your own inner being. God has the power to do any thing which he wills. If from the depths of your own inner being, you will a thing to happen, it will happen, for your being is God. Power is form of will, will is form of love, love is form of good relationship. If you live in good relationship, your love will be great, and you will have the power to do anything.
A life of good relationship comes about when, moment by moment and in every detail of your life, you live according to your inner sense of goodness or conscience. The wise person does not go outside of his sphere of personal relationship; and within that sphere he works wonder.
