Passage 7

In English

What earned for the right to be taught by the Lord is the fact that he stood in complete and total surrender and was prepared to take whatever instructions the Lord would give. It is to such a person and under such circumstances that one can give the sacred meaning of the or the sacred significance of the Divine. Everyone will have to deserve this, earn this by good conduct, by good behaviour and by doing good things. Whether you are in difficulties or in joyous circumstances, whether you are in pain or pleasure, it is only when you have faith in God and accept Him as your very lifebreath, will you be in a position to derive real peace and happiness. Our own conduct is responsible for, and is the cause of, all our pleasures and pains. We cannot say that God is causing us either pleasure or pain. He is only a witness. For our pains and for our pleasures, for our sorrows and for our joys, our own actions are responsible. If we spend our life with good ideas, with good conduct and good deeds, then we do not have to ask anybody to give us happiness. That will come of its own accord as a result of our good deeds.
