Commit fully — your life is for God
1:21|2024|teaching
So, and we have to commit to this 100 percent, you to commit to this 100 percent, because here it is like what the Buddha said, that one may win over a thousand armies, but to transcend their own mind is even more difficult. So, you can't just do it with saying yes, you know, I'm going to try. Like, if you're going for an expedition to Everest, then you can't just say, I may be, I'll carry a few woolens. You're going to freeze to death, or it's not going to work. So, you must commit fully that your life now is for God. If you meet that commitment that your life is for God, then 99 percent of the mind's temptations are gone. They will not seem valuable to you, but if you're trying to juggle, then it doesn't happen. So, commit to God, commit to living in His presence, or living presence must be lived in. It must not be some conceptual idea of God. And isn't it great that, that what we call, I am, is His presence. So, we don't have to go anywhere. We don't have to even search actually, we just have to become empty in our hands.
