Find Strength and Courage in the Word of the Lord- By Sadhu Vaswani

Move from finite to infinite

Take courage; face the problem of life in the strength of faith; and know as you go along the pathway of life, that your destiny is to utter in every experience an eternal idea.

Are you disappointed? Do you feel, on certain occasions, disgusted with the world? Is it that having reposed faith in a friend, a relative, a comrade, you have been betrayed? Is it that you have been persecuted? Is it that the world has seemed to you enwrapped in darkness?

Then listen to the word of the Lord, remember there is in you an infinite abyss of the soul-life. Remember you are a child of God; remember your home is in the eternal heart, and you are here to express the God- life; take courage; face the problem of life in the strength of faith; and know as you go along the pathway of life, that your destiny is to utter in every experience an eternal idea.

In a beautiful poem The hound of heaven, the author describes one trying to escape the supreme and to find rest in finite things. The supreme follows him ‘with unhurrying chase, unperturbed pace, deliberate speed, majestic constancy.’ Best is denied him though he seeks it by turns in ‘ beautiful places, the stars, the dawn, the evening, the eyes of little children; and even as he stands within the shadow of death the voice of the supreme speaks to him

“Ah, fondest, blindest, weakest

I am he whom thou sleekest!

Thou dravest love from thee, who dravest me,”

The present must be brought under the control of the infinite.
