Narration

Original
Why should we place complete faith in God alone, even while loving and serving all? Bhagawan, Our Loving Lord, gives us an important message today.
The love that people exhibit for each other is only body attachment. Selfishness and self-interest is the basis of this love. It is only God who is totally selfless. There is nothing wrong in maintaining a relationship with others, but love God wholeheartedly. Whatever work you do, consider it as God’s work. Whomever you see, respect him as the embodiment of God. As propounded in the Bhagavat Gita, God is present in all: Mamatma sarva bhutantaratma (I am present as the atma in all beings). Therefore, do not ridicule or hate anybody. At the same time, do not repose too much faith in others. Instead of having faith in others, put all your faith in God. (Swami showing His handkerchief) This is a cloth made of so many threads. As many threads have come together, this cloth has become strong. If you separate the threads of the cloth, you can break them with your fingers. Therefore, focus all your love on God. Love all, serve all, considering everyone as divine. But do not believe everyone. Have faith only in God.

By means of love, one can approach God and stay in His Presence, for God is love, and when one lives in love, he is living in God. – BABA
