God is Real

We are like gold in the mud, when the mud of ignorance is cleansed away, the shining gold of the soul, made in God's image, is seen within. """"""""""""""""""""..."""""""""" So no matter if your sins are as deep as the Atlantic Ocean, make constant mental effort to become good. For a few incarnations you have been a human being, but throughout eternity you have been a child of God. Never think of yourself as a sinner, because sin and ignorance are only mortal nightmares. When we will awaken in God, we will find that we -- the soul, the pure consciousness -- never did anything wrong. Untainted by mortal experiences, we are and ever have been the sons of God. We are like gold in the mud, when the mud of ignorance is cleansed away, the shining gold of the soul, made in God's image, is seen within. Spritual consciousness comes from a firm mental resolve. No matter how others are behaving around you or toward you, you yourself have to be good. The greatest enemy of yourself is yourself. You procrastinate about being good. I used to get into mental ruts, and many months would pass when I couldn't meditate deeply. Yet I continued to make the mental effort. Progress came fast when I suddenly realized that I had to be more determined to control all my habits and exercise my spirituality. Similarly, you have to take control of your behaviour and consciousness. Do the things you know you should do, and don't do anything that is contrary to spiritual consciousness.

When you see others behaving unkindly, it should give you greater determination to be kind. """""""""""""""""""""""""""""" How to become a king of hearts, loved... by all ? Become more saintly, so that like a true king you sit on the throne of love in the hearts of others. Begin by being kind to all. Unkindness is a spritual disease. If you indulge in unkind acts and feelings, you make yourself miserable and damage your nervous system. When you see others behaving unkindly, it should give you greater determination to be kind.I practice this all the time. No matter how hurtfully others behave, they cannot make me react with meanness. By self-control and right behavior you will ultimately realize that you are a part of the Eternal Good; you do not belong anymore to the wrong ways of this world. Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda.
