Mankind is engaged in an eternal quest for that something else he

hopes will bring him happiness, complete and unending. For those
individual souls who have sought and found God, the search is over: He
is that Something Else.

Many people may doubt that finding God is the purpose of life; but
everyone can accept the idea that the purpose of life is to find
happiness. I say that God is Happiness. He is Bliss. He is Love. He is Joy
that will never go away from your soul. So why shouldnt you try to
acquire that Happiness? No one else can give it to you. You must
continuously cultivate it yourself.

Even if life gave you at one time everything you wanted wealth,
power, friends after a while you would again become dissatisfied
and need something more. But there is one thing that can never
become stale to you joy itself. Happiness that is delightfully varied,
though its essence is changeless, is the inner experience everyone is
seeking. Lasting, ever new joy is God. Finding this Joy within, you will
find it in everything without. In God you will tap the Reservoir of
perennial, unending bliss.

Suppose you are going to be punished by not being allowed to go to


sleep when you are desperately in need of rest, and suddenly someone
says: All right, you may go to sleep now. Think of the joy you would
feel just before falling asleep. Multiply that one million times! Still it
would not describe the joy felt in communion with God.

The joy of God is boundless, unceasing, all the time new. Body, mind,
nothing can disturb you when you are in that consciousness such is
the grace and glory of the Lord. And He will explain to you whatever
you havent been able to understand; everything you want to know.

When you sit in the silence of deep meditation, joy bubbles up from
within, roused by no outer stimulus. The joy of meditation is
overwhelming. Those who have not gone into the silence of true
meditation do not know what real joy is.

As the mind and the feeling are directed inward, you begin to feel
Gods joy. The pleasures of the senses do not last; but the joy of God is
everlasting. It is incomparable!
Very few of us know how much we can put into life if we use it
properly, wisely, and economically. Let us economize our time
lifetimes ebb away before we wake up, and that is why we do not
realize the value of the immortal time God has given us.

Do not while away your time in idleness. A great many people occupy
themselves with inconsequential activities. Ask them what they have
been doing and they will usually say, Oh, I have been busy every
minute! But they can scarcely remember what they were so busy
about!

In an instant you may be required to leave this world; you will have to
cancel all your engagements. Why then give any other activity first
importance, with the result that you have no time for God? That is not
common sense. It is because of maya, the net of cosmic delusion which
is thrown over us, that we entangle ourselves in mundane interests
and forget the Lord.

If we are attuned to God, our perception is limitless, pervading


everywhere in the oceanic flow of the Divine Presence. When the Spirit
is known, and when we know ourselves as Spirit, there is no land or
sea, no earth or sky all is He. The melting of everything in Spirit is a
state no one can describe. A great bliss is felt eternal fullness of joy
and knowledge and love.

The love of God, the love of the Spirit, is an all-consuming love. Once
you have experienced it, it shall lead you on and on in the eternal
realms. That love will never be taken away from your heart. It shall
burn there, and in its fire you shall find the great magnetism of Spirit
that draws others unto you, and attracts whatsoever you truly need or
desire.
I tell you truthfully that all my questions have been answered, not
through man but through God. He is. He is. It is His spirit that talks to
you through me. It is His love that I speak of. Thrill after thrill! Like
gentle zephyrs His love comes over the soul. Day and night, week after
week, year after year, it goes on increasing you dont know where
the end is. And that is what you are seeking, every one of you. You
think you want human love and prosperity, but behind these it is your
Father who is calling you. If you realize He is greater than all His gifts,
you will find Him.
Man has come on earth solely to learn to know God; he is here for no
other reason. This is the true message of the Lord. To all those who
seek and love Him, He tells of that great Life where there is no pain, no
old age, no war, no death only eternal assurance. In that Life
nothing is destroyed. There is only ineffable happiness that will never
grow stale a happiness always new.

So that is why it is worthwhile to seek God. All those who sincerely


seek Him will surely find Him. Those who want to love the Lord and
yearn to enter His kingdom, and who sincerely wish in their hearts to
know Him, will find Him. You must have an ever-increasing desire for
Him, day and night. He will acknowledge your love by fulfilling His
promise to you throughout eternity, and you shall know joy and
happiness unending. All is light, all is joy, all is peace, all is love. He is
all.
