THIS I WHY GOD LOVES MOST THE SO-CALLED DESTITUTE AND HELPLESSMeher Baba |
The method for abandoning the hold which duality has on consciousness is not simple. The more comfort and pleasure available to man, the less his chance for a strong enough push to force him to give up even the temporary happiness of his achievements. And yet he must eventually do this (internally) to bring the full focus of consciousness to bear on the experience of the eternally inherent self or soul, with all its blissful freedom of real existence.
This is why God loves most the so-called destitute and helpless.
The greater the helplessness, the greater can and should be the
dependence upon God for His help, which is ever more ready than are
the sincere and earnest wishes for it. The greater the bindings, the
greater the chances for quick, permanent relief, through fully
conscious experience of man's own original and everlasting freedom.
The unlimited and everlasting spiritual freedom of the self or soul
exists eternally and infinitely in one and all, and is equally
available to every man and woman irrespective of class, creed or
nationality.
