Staying Connected with the Divine spirit of God

[TheWillofTheLord]

Staying Connected with the Divine spirit of God, is one of the most important parts about being Christian as Jesus himself states here in Matthew 7:21"Not everyone who prays to Me, “Lord, Lord,” will enter into the kingdom of heaven, but only those who do the will of my Father who is in heaven."

Hi –

I've deleted the link as that's not according to the Interfaith Code of Conduct.

If you wish to dialogue with us, then welcome. If you're using this site as a platform to pronounce your own agenda, then I'm afraid not.

Questions have been asked on another thread ... perhaps you'd like to respond?

It's a pity that you keep trying to post links (which threads are just removed) and to register under different usernames, in spite of the fact that we have invited you to open discussion and to post an introduction about yourself.

These are our own non-commercial interfaith discussion forums. We are not a notice board or document exchange. You are invited to introduce yourself and initiate discussion threads, within our code of conduct.

Reaching and seeing God is not important. Even demons have seen God very closely but they were destroyed finally because God was not really pleased with them. These demons did penance and got boons by force. Their penance was only chanting the name of God and meditation. So they sacrificed only words and mind. They never sacrificed anything practically by participating in the mission of the Lord. Therefore the people who want to get boons from the Lord by sacrificing just words and mind only are by no means different from the demons. Today, people are sacrificing only words and mind and sometimes even their tears. These words, mind and tears cannot be sold in the market even for a single penny.

The people who sacrifice their work (doing work for propagation of knowledge) and the fruit of their work (money) for the sake of God and do not aspire for anything in return, are angels and sages. A man in between these two stages sacrifices practically but sometimes asks for selfish boons when an emergency arises. Sacrifice of the fruit of work is also sacrifice of work because the fruit of work is a different form of the work itself. Therefore, both these come under ‘sacrifice of work’. In the Gita, sacrifice of work is called Karma Sanyasa Yoga and sacrifice of fruit of work is called Karma Phala Tyaga Yoga. Since both only mean the sacrifice of work, both put together is called ‘Karma Yoga’ or ‘Service to God’.
