Acceptance and grace

Choose cheerfully and totally;

either you accept your life and advance in wisdom,

[OR advance in wisdom, by your practice, and accept your life]

or you refuse and stagnate,

and then you have the same road to walk, minus the grace.

Beloved Master 

Revered Babuji Maharaj

Sunday, August 1, 1999 – 10:00 a.m.

To you we ask - endure your current life, and as much as possible with a smile. Cheerfully.

Many of our aspirants are disappointed; they thought that having a Master and being on a path like Sahaj Marg would eliminate all their family and health problems.

But if you all were to know our lives well, you would have seen that we were not spared.

You settle up the remainders of previous lives and the mistakes made in this one.

No path, no Master, whatever his stature, will be able to resolve all your small problems to your liking. The objective - of the path - does not lie there. You must understand it.

If you follow us with the motivation to remove life's problems - that will not happen, you will be disappointed.

Our goodwill cannot make you walk on a path of roses.

The roses of life, you do get them, but also their thorns.

Study the lives of all the great Masters who punctuated history, and see what they experienced to reach the highest level of holiness, and all that they went through.

It is only by going deeper and deeper inside yourselves that you will find not only answers, but also the strength to endure what you have to go through in this life.

Without this obligatory process, evolution is not possible.

Choose cheerfully and totally:

either you accept your life and so advance in wisdom,

(OR advance in wisdom by your practice and accept your life)

or you refuse and stagnate,

and then you have the same road to walk, minus the grace.

The roses, you have them, but the thorns too. Study the lives of all the great Masters who punctuated history, and see what they experienced to reach the highest level of holiness, and all that they went through.

It is by going deeper and deeper inside yourselves that you will find not only answers, but the strength to endure what you have to live.

Without this obligatory process, there is no possible evolution.

You should resign yourselves; either you advance in wisdom and you accept your life, or you stagnate and refuse, and you have the same road to walk, minus the grace.
