God's Touch

There is something called 'being touched by god'. God's touch is transformative. Your thought forces are changed. From being an ordinary person living a mundane life, you are reconstituted to serve as god's employee.Life's mission shines on you. The inspiration to implement is also provided by god. All praise to the lord, the indweller, master craftsperson, valley of wisdom, possessed of qualities representing the highest and best.

God's touch does not happen at a physical level. By that i mean that god does not appear in physical form and touch with you his hands. It is a purely mental experience. As one spends increasing lengths of time thinking of god, the divine energy slowly takes over your mental faculties. He/She possesses your mind at all times. When such possession takes place, the baser human qualities melt away to reveal a shining personality in you. This shining person represents lofty ideals, ideals close to God's heart and your vision of life is changed. Higher thoughts, higher goals are revealed to you. What do i mean by higher and lower thoughts. To eat, sleep, speak that does not lead to good for all represents actions guided by lower thoughts. Serving others, working for humanity represents actions progressing from higher thoughts as the individual desires are used for all.

Does this mean the baser nature in every one of us dissappears completely? No, depends on your level of association with god. The baser qualities keep returning time and again until you learn from the effects they have on your life and choose to release yourself from their clutches.

Let us take the case of anger. 'Anger destroys' is a phrase we often hear.I used to enjoy the presence of anger in me and prided myself for that. How foolish! Yet it took me thirty years to recognize that anger does little good. Everytime anger came and went, i felt drained. Instead tolerance i realized has greater rewards. What is that i seek from others? Tolerance, forgiveness and acceptance. The more i discovered the qualities i liked in others, lessons of anger's effects shone on me. Today i am able to exercise greater control of anger. What is god's role, you may ask. My association with god brought about this realization.

Study the lives of the great men and women, great due to their humane qualities and for their role in serving as agents of positive change and you will discover that there was a defining moment in their lives when god's touch changed them from rust to glowing gold. God is not high up in the clouds. He is in you at all times.

Seek god's company at all times. When his presence is their no matter what comes your way, you will be able to rise and grow. Life is god, god is life. Knowing that what can death do to you?

Strive to feel god's presence in you at all times.
