Proof of True Devotion

 

 

Jesus was killed by His children on the cross. Jesus said ‘Revenge is mine.’ His revenge is not to kill them, but to kill their ignorance. His most powerful weapon is infinite love. If you love Him, He will allow Himself to be loved by you so that at last, you will find that you loved yourself by loving Him. Similarly, if you deceive Him, He will allow Himself to be deceived by you and atlast, you will find that you deceived yourself by deceiving Him. Your real love is proved only by money. You love your children truly.

 

Therefore, you are giving your money to your children. Similarly, if you love God you will give your money to God for God’s work. This is the practical fire-test of your real love. Prayers by words and meditation by mind are just like the pickles (side dishes) in the plate. The sacrifice of a part of the fruit of your work (money) and the sacrifice of a part of your work atleast, are the central bread in the plate. Both these two parts put together is called as divine service. Without this practical divine service, there is no use of mere prayers and meditation. Without divine service, if you offer only prayers and meditation to God, you are offering Him a meal-plate with only pickles and without the central bread. When He eats only the pickles, His stomach burns and He becomes furious. This is the reason why He is not answering your prayers and meditation in the absence of service. Ofcourse if you are incapable of sacrificing your money towards His work, atleast sacrifice your work for His work. If you are really incapable of sacrificing both these, then alone will He accept your prayers and meditation, because you cannot do anything more than that. In such case the pickles offered by you will become pieces of sweet fruits and He shall answer your prayers positively.
