You
are very dear to him indeed
Just see what your condition is—the body is afflicted with illness, the
mind is fickle and impure, the intellect is fickle in the pursuits and as such,
life has become the abode of miseries, and so weeping and wailing you are drifting
all the times towards death.
The dreadful waves of the
worldly ocean are beating you, leaping again and again. You are not able to
think out at all as to how you will get rid of them. If at any time you do try
to steady some idea, just then, a new wave arises, gives you a violent jerk and
carries your idea away, goodness knows where.
In this way, nobody knows
since what a long period you have been diving in this ocean of sorrow—you are
neither able to see any means of escape anywhere nor able to see its beginning
or end enywhere.
Only one thing can end this
misery of yours. That expedient is—‘To take refuge in the Lord and call on
Him’. The Lord has said, ‘Those who fix their mind on Me, I rescue them very
speedily from the ocean of birth and death’. Call upon Him if you wish to escape
the terrible waves of worldly existence. Tell him, ‘ O Lord, I fell wherever I
went because so far I did not find anybody who knows no fall. You are
infallible. Feeling mean and miserable today, I have sought refuge in you.
Pray, save me from this terrible fear!’
Take it for certain—if your
call is sincere, He will surely save you. He will not see—who you are, what
kind of man you are, how you act and think or whether you are virtuous or
sinful, He will only see whether or not you have faith in Him or in His grace,
and how sincere is your invocation.
The Lord is the refuge of
the refugeless, friend of the destitute and redeemer of the fallen. If you will
look towards Him considering yourself really refugeless, destitute and fallen
and call on Him to make you His own, then making you his own and purifying you,
he will surely take you in his lap just as an affectionate mother, lifting her
dear son full of filth into her lap, embraces him after washing his filth away
with her own hands.
Be sure:— No one is as dear
to you as your very own, as the very breath of your being, as the life of your
life and the soul of your soul as the Lord Himself you are very dear to Him
indeed. Dear one! Just call on Him at least once with love! You will see, how
soon and what an endearing love of His you get in return.
