Goodbye ordinariness

Today it struck home. I have taken so much from Baba. I have had the incredible privilege of personal sustenance. He has guided me, loved me, taught me, inspired me, sustained me, nurtured me, empowered me, fulfilled me... he has given me this life.

If I use my time, energy, resources... everything in a worthwhile way, in an elevated way, in an unlimited way, as per his directions... his personal sustenance has been worthwhile.

If I use my time or any resource in an ordinary way (let alone a negative way), in a casual way...it means I have not truly recognized him. It means I have not truly recognized myself. It means I have not truly recognized the present time. It means I do not have due regard... It means his time and effort on me is yet to bear fruit. It means that I have to do further groundwork before his sustenance bears fruit. It means I have limited the unlimited one.

This is not the time to be ordinary. This is the time to be a worthy child. This is the time to reveal God. And he will be revealed when I become a practical example of his teachings. And then everyone will see...this is not a human being. This is God's work of art. God's masterpiece.

Baba... I am yours.
