Long Quotes
God’s Power and Presence in the world are demonstrated through selfless actions, through recognition of one person to another, through selfless giving and the commitment to give, the commitment to serve, the commitment to contribute—beyond one’s own edification, and certainly beyond one’s own enrichment.
Where does this incentive come from? What is the nature of true goodness?
It all comes from the Mystery, the Power and Presence of God in the world.
People want demonstrations. They want miracles because they are not having the experience. This is all the striving of the mind—the surface mind, the worldly mind.
“Prove to me that God is real! Give me a miracle! Give me what I want! Solve my problems!”
People think like this because they are not having the true experience, and if they have had the true experience, they are not being patient. They are not recognizing that the encounter with God is intermittent and not continuous. For it is not allowed for you to have too much experience of the Divine or you will never be willing to stay in the world and provide your service here.
