Becoming spiritually mature

There are many conflicts in the minds of people and I don't simplify this problem. Nor is it easy for parents who haven't got the funds to deal with the problem. But more than funds we need opportunities, and to think about how we are going to handle a situation - it's life. Life is sacred.

Identify yourself all the time with divine consciousness and you will forget your human nature. You forget ultimately that you have a body and are separate from God. For God then dwells within you. Your heart will beat with the compassion and love that you have identified with God. Forgiving, caring, helping, and establishing the link between God and yourself all the time. You forget 'I' and 'mine'. There's a universal consciousness in a human being as he progresses to help others discover this mystery that lies dormant in all of us.

If you can qualify all your actions with one simple thought - I want to do it with a lot of love - then you will never hurt or injure another human being.

The more you purify yourself, the more powerful your aura is. The more powerful your aura is the more the Divine wants to interact with you. This is what a person has to master. 

Karma controls your life. If karma controls your life, you may well ask me, “Where is free will?” Free will means you can choose between that which is positive or negative. 

You are in a period of evolution where you have to rely on books to help you on your journey, but I'm saying don't rely on books. If you constantly rely on books you will never begin to step into that direction of Divine consciousness and open your mind to Divine direction.

If we have love for God and all of life we must serve life at every level; this is an important part of spiritual development. If you don't do that I’ll tell you what will happen. You will become very callous in your mind. [Society will say] that only when a person can give something to it [will they have the right to live.] We will have organised in our minds a system that is set out and we will say that when you come to fifty or sixty years old you only have a right to live depending on your ability to react and respond intelligently and positively. 

If you start a family and you have little children then spend time with them and give them love. Love is not just ‘throwing’ every item that you can imagine at the child. No, spend time interacting with your children, that is invaluable.

You don't see God, I can see God. There is the big difference. When I was a young boy, I assumed that everybody could see God and talk to God. It was an amazing thing and I couldn't understand it. Nobody was talking about God, my friends were not talking about God, nobody was doing that. So one day I asked my friends, “Why don't you talk about God?” They said, “Who is God?” Then the penny dropped in my mind.

Don't spend time feeding negative thoughts. The more you think and feed on negativity, the more power you give to the negative. Be positive. Be positive all the time. Say, "Okay, I did this. Never mind. Now I have the power to change. I am divine."
