Power of Thoughts - Conclusion Part 1


God is one, without a second.

God is the:

All powerful
All pervading
All engulfing
All intelligence
All kindness
All forgiving
All compassion
All embracing love
Infinite
Perfect
Omnipotent
Omniscient
Divine Father
Divine Mother
Divine Creator
Divine Sustainer

of the infinite cosmos.

God is immanent in His many Divine Attributes of:

Glory,
Grace,
Effulgence,
Power,
Compassion,
Kindness,
Joy,
Bliss, and
Love.

God is all powerful; i.e. all power belongs to God.

There is no other power.

The Divine Power is:

infinite,
all-pervading,
all-engulfing, and
self-effulgent,

and is projected and manifested through the cosmic consciousness in various reflections.

Therefore, all other powers we perceive or are aware of, are the reflections and projection of the Divine Power.

The cosmos derives all kinds of powers from the only source of Divine Power.

But in our egoistic deception we believe that there are different kinds of powers coming from different sources.

All the attributes of the sun, such as light, heat, energy, life sustaining properties, etc… are projected, reflected and manifested through sun-rays to sustain the cosmos.

Similarly, in His benevolent Grace, God spontaneously provides abundantly all the needs of His children, the creatures of the cosmos, even without their knowledge or asking.

The infinite celestial attributes of God mentioned above are silently, invisibly, secretly and immaculately reflecting and working consistently in the cosmos through His power and Grace, to create, develop, sustain and entertain His innumerable children of the cosmos.

We, the creatures, with even our limited power and intelligence, try to provide our babies with all their needs and comforts under the instinct of our parental affections.

Therefore, it is unthinkable that such a Loving, Kind, Gracious, Great Divine Father should have left His dear children to fend for themselves at the mercy of adverse materialistic forces.

In fact, it is the Divine Power and Grace that:

creates,
develops,
sustains,
degenerates, and again
regenerates

all creatures of the universe.

It is again God’s Power and Grace that provides in abundance all the needs of His children for ever and without asking.

But we are unable to perceive and realize the Benevolent Divine Law of Providence in our egoistic illusion. Thereby we create obstructions in the natural inflow of Divine Power and Grace into our mind which becomes stagnated and depraved with wrong thoughts. In doing so, we invite all sorts of troubles, problems and miseries, and make a ‘hell’ of our lives.

The heavy clouds of selfishness, doubts, fears, conflicts, turmoil, confrontation, etc… engulfing the universe, is the result and positive proof of our depraved and wrong perceptions emanating from our egoistic consciousness.

Due to egoistic consciousness and superfluous faith in Divinity. We deprive ourselves of the ever-flowing abundance of His Kindness, Compassion, Grace and Love.

The light of the sun is reflected into our room through glass panes and curtains. If the glass panes are coloured and the curtains are heavy, the flow of light into the room is curtailed.

Similarly, when our mind is clouded with wrong thoughts and perceptions of egoistic consciousness, the reflection of the ever-present Divine Power and Grace on our mind is diluted and restricted.

In other words, the inflow of Divine Gifts of Love and Grace is in proportion to our faith in Divine Power.

The following illustration may help to elucidate(make clear) the subtle difference between:

- the ‘Primal Divine Power’ and
- the illusory conception of cosmic powers, working in the materialistic world

The sperm grows into foetus in the womb.

The foetus is being nourished and protected within the womb without outside interference or help.

This process of growth of the foetus goes on invisibly, secretly, with meticulous precision and ingenious perfection, in which the ‘mother’ has no conscious part to play. It is solely the Divine Power working silently, secretly and perfectly.

In fact, this wonderful process of ‘gestation’(growth/conception) is one of the awe-inspiring miracles of Divine Power and Wisdom, but we take it as ‘casual’ and fail to recognise it as Divine Power. On the other hand, the ‘mother’ thinks that she herself has conceived, nourished, sustained and developed the ‘foetus’ into a ‘baby’. This is the egoistic blasphemy on the part of the mother. When the foetus is grown, it is ushered into the world as a ‘baby’
