"Every
time you love someone unconditionally, every time you reach out
from this greatness, it is your true Self who reaches out. And every
time you do that, you expand your horizons, you expand your Self,
and you become greater and greater. You don't become greater; you
are already great. It's just that you make use of your greatness
then.
It's
no good if we have a big bank account and never withdraw from it.
And then, with time, we might even forget that we have the money.
Sometimes (now that I have to be independent), I go to the bank
and withdraw some money. I feel so grateful to the teller, the one
who gives me the money. Then later I think, "Wait a minute.
It's my money!" (Laughter)
It's
the same with us now. Whatever miracle appears in your life, whatever
great event occurs to your favor, it's all yours in the beginning,
and all yours all the time. But it's because you have forgotten
it, you have forgotten how great you are, you have forgotten the
treasure within you, that now you're grateful for every little favor
that comes your way. It's okay to be grateful, but then remember
that you always will have this. And the more you take it out, the
more you realize how big a treasure you have.
So
try to exercise this God love, this God power, and then you will
realize you are really the Master, you are really God's children.
There's nothing else except the glory, except the highest position
in the universe, which is yours. Do not thank me; do not thank anyone
except yourself for anything that happens in your life. Also, do
not even blame anyone for anything bad that happens in your life.
Because we are the ones who create all this, good or bad.
But
please remember to create good things, so that we manifest Godhood
on this planet and make it into Heaven. If we think negatively,
act negatively or expect the negative, then we will get that. Because
we are God, we have the power of calling forth into materialization
anything that we want to have. Remember that.
So
try to concentrate more in your meditation, harnessing this power
again, so that you can call the whole universe into your command,
and make anything possible for yourself and for the ones that you
love."
