Coming in the wake of “So Be It”,
little did I know that I would be drawn to the words that are forcing their way
out—as an expression of what is being felt within. And this is not the first
time that the same has happened as this is the way it always does with myself
grateful as I wake up to their presence. The Force convinces me--even as it
forces its way out—that nothing could be more apt following what it follows…
“So Be It”. And who I am to say anything if not “So Be it”.
It directly takes me to the fact:
We keep praying for things and whatever
it is we pray for is definitely a great matter of great significance to us—irrespective
of what others might think.
As we pray and call out to The
Almighty…the truly All Mighty, considering it as an entity separate from self,
the ways we pray are usually:
(a) “I wish for…”
(b) “Please give me…”
(c) “May I be able…”
Whichever way it is, it makes
implicit that, that our answers are not implicit to us in our life as they are not
explicit. It is quite natural as well, as we live our life as physical beings
on this physical plane—bound by innumerable bindings of the mind. No wonder
life becomes a grind—day in, day out—with no ways out in sight. The insight
being inaccessible to us as sight is more outside than inside.
And the root of all misery is the
belief that to ‘earn the faith and thus blessings of God’ we have to ‘do’
something; and that God is in temples, but not in the primary temple—that is
our own being. That our ‘be-ing’ is a proof of existence of The Life Force,
that we call God, within, eludes us triggering the biggest delusion and
sufferings thus.
Yet when we accept that the
divine is within we spontaneously realize that we have been given everything.
It is we who keep the materializations at bay by not allowing the Life Force to
fully flow through us. What we pray as “So Be It” is thus affirmed as “So It
Would Be” as “So It Is” already. We become aware that the manifestation which
we seek is already made manifest with faith. It is only the concept of time and
space that deludes us with veiling of the same.
My faith tells me that it is The
Divinity within, which is calling out to us, praying and at the same time
affirming, “You have been given everything. Realize your self and real-ize your
fullest potential.”
It is the other way round. As The
Creator is one with all of Its Creation there is no separate entity to look up
to, but an inherent entity, within, our Highest Self—The Source Within, The
Creative Force of The Universe.
It is the Force Within which
seeks release as IT prays, “So Be It”.
It is the other way round with
God urging, praying and affirming, “So, Be It”, “So Be It” and “So It Is”.
Thus instead of “May God Bless
All” the affirmation comes out as confirmation from within, “God Blesses All”.
