They start endlessly sermonising on how money is everything and how everything is dependent upon it. Is this the case because we’ve left the Infinite Divine Peace and become individual beings in the conditions of Time and Space? Everything here is conditional, and after all the frustration about not finding any true unconditional love among human beings, we eventually have to realise that the only unconditioned relationship is with the Divine. Are human relationships all about providing each other mutual exchange value that they can provide each other?
Human beings are very limited in their present state of evolution. They neither have the true knowledge nor the true power. Above all, they don’t understand Love, which they constantly mistake for give and take. To expect anything from human beings is, in fact itself a stupid thing to do. It is like asking for a dole from a beggar.
Yet human beings are endowed with a possibility. It is the possibility of uniting with the Divine, the Source and the Origin. If they can do that, they will be free from all suffering. Of course, outer situations may or may not change. But inwardly, the person who sincerely turns towards the Divine and is ready to persevere with faith through whatever difficulties his outer circumstances and his own nature may present, gets freed from their grip and discovers abiding peace and joy. Once this happens, then the human being becomes a giver, receiving everything from the Divine while expecting or wanting nothing from anyone else.
One thing more. It is best not to observe what others say or do. If one wants to be happy and peaceful, then it is best not to look into what others are doing but instead mind one’s own business. Do what you think is the best, the right thing to do, leaving the rest in the safe hands of the Divine Mother. The work alone is given to us. The results belong entirely to the Divine.
Affectionately,
