Protection - the most effective one: connecting with heaven

04/07/2010

Every joy, every happiness, has to be paid for one way or another. Only when you have returned to the cosmic ocean for good will you have nothing further to pay. When you are immersed in that ocean, who is there to pay? But if you come out of it, you have to pay for the slightest drop. You will have seen this so many times! After joy always comes sorrow. And you even come to expect it - when you have experienced great happiness, something tells you sorrow is lying in wait. Many people are fearful when they are very happy, and with good reason. But while we can never wholly avoid trouble from the outside world, at least we can protect ourselves inwardly. And the only truly effective protection is our connection with heaven. When you are connected with heaven and surrender to its will, you are one with it, and then you have nothing left to pay inwardly. Does God owe anybody anything? No, everything belongs to him, and if you live in God everything will belong to you, too.
