The Antidote to Every Situation: God's Presence

So the most valuable thought that you feel it offers you, inquire into its nature and see that it's not true. And if it is true, then only God's will makes it true. So if God's will is making it true, then we don't have to contribute to His will in the sense that if your mind is being very spiritual, for example, and saying, 'Oh, but even using words of Satsang...' So let's take this for example: I said promise that you will not worry about the topic for the day, which your mind is giving you now. The mind can use that itself to oppress you by saying, 'See, you promised, you're not doing well, you're doing badly.' So that is the checker guy, the spiritual advisor sitting in your head who takes the words of Satsang and pretends to help you but actually oppresses you again in a new spiritual way. So just whatever it is, just let it go. See, unless it is God, it is the remembrance of God who leads you to the holy place within. So if it is God's name, if it is Ram Ram Ram or Ma Ma, whatever it may be, if it brings you to that inner temple, then it is fine. And it's a lifetime project. So although you hear that it has to be done instantly—because instantly it has to be done for us to say that we led a spiritual life—it needs a lifetime to pass before it can be said. Sometimes, every time actually, every day life gives us particular situations. But remember that the antidote to every situation is God's presence. Otherwise, it is situation after situation after situation after situation, topic after topic after topic after topic. There is no end to it. So leave everything to God and allow God to move you. Whatever you take yourself to be, some may take God's body to be the entire universe. So allow Him to move the universe, which He is. Is this body not contained in that universe? It is contained. Do you feel that this whole play is moving? But the non-existent ego can decide that 'I will move in a different way'? No, not really. And yet, because love is not forced—God doesn't force us to love Him—He gives us the seeming choice, which is an important seeming choice to make, which is to love Him. What to do with the ones that we love in the world? If you can't hand over, if that love doesn't emanate from God's love and God's will moving you in that way, if it is not a subset, a smaller part of the greater love, the universal love for God, then it is the worldly attachment. Love is not love unless it is about God.
