What is Belonging to God?

Belonging to God and just remembering God are not same. People in worldly Bhakti also remember God, but they are not able to use this relationship for spiritual benefit of themselves or for World peace. We belong to Supreme Almighty Baba and use His powers. Learning to belong to Baba is essential in this practice. Let us see what belonging means.

Where do you belong to? When you say you are from place ‘X’. X has a special place in your heart. You call it your city. You feel my-ness and sense of security being in X. Wherever you go and stay in the world, you will belong to X alone. Right?

When you say you belong to your family, what does it mean? You feel comfortable with your family and you feel that it belongs to you and you have right over your family. It is the closeness of relationship. Right?

In office, when we say so and so person belongs to the manager/boss. It means that person reports and is confident of manager/boss. That person will not be afraid/intimidated by anyone in lesser authority then manager/boss. Right?

Now what does belonging to Baba mean? Do we realise that who ever we may interact with/who ever we may stay with/who ever we may spend time with but we belong to God alone. When we belong to some one, our priorities change putting that person in priority. We shape our life and priorities according to the requirements of the person whom we belong to naturally. This is belonging. When we learn to belong to Baba, we learn to have right over our Father We learn to really be with Baba. Then we can say we are children of Supreme Baba. Until then we remain in Bhakti and do not understand the knowledge. This sense of "My Baba" and I belong to no one but Baba is essential in spiritual practice. Now check if you are remembering Baba, what was the belonging ness you felt in this process? If you are being with Baba, what did Baba mean for you? Did He mean just another good Soul or did He mean world for you? To what extent were you able to love Baba? Was it just love a fellow being or love that sweeps us off ground?

Relationship with God - Some thoughts

It becomes difficult to be with Divine Father with out any specific purpose. Relationship is best maintained when there is a purpose. Short term and long term purposes help in this process. It is because one is not feeling the presence or necessity of Baba in actions and life to the extent one actually needs. Baba is Supreme Power. When we are with such a great power and He says all those powers belong to us. Just having this faith in mind makes a lot of difference in confidence and our actions. We experience Peace, Love and Bliss just by being in remembrance and seeing Baba (during meditation). So why not keep seeing Him all the time during every action and second. Why not maintain this contact which empowers us? What is more important in our life that we should get diverted by waste thoughts? Why not share every thought and decision with Baba? (irrespective of getting a reply, faith is in knowing and remembering that Baba is listening to me and is empowering me to do right action).
