BELIEF MEANS DEVOTION AND DEDICATION.

WHEN WE
DEVOTE AND DEDICATE OURSELVE TO GOD ,WE
TACITY BELIEVE IN HIM.HIS MIGHT AND INTELLIGENT
ARE THERE TO PROTECT US. A CHILD IS AFRAID WHEN
HE IS ALONE BUT WHEN HE IS ACCOMPANIED BY HIS
FATHER OR WHEN HE IS IN THE LAP OF HIS
MOTHER ,HE IS NOT AFRAID .IT IS SO BECAUSE THEN
HE SURRENDERS HIMSELF TO HIS PARENTS.FEAR
TAKES TO ITS HEELS WHEN WE DEDICATE
OURSELVES ENTIRELY TO GOD.GANDHIJI
SAID"DEVOTION MEANS SELF CONFIDENCE AND SELF
-CONFIDENCE MEANS FAITH IN GOD".

WHEN ONE IS DEDICATED AND DEVOTED TO

GOD,HE ATTAINS THE BLISS OF A SMALL CHILD.WHEN
CHRIST WAS BEING CRUCIFIED AND NAILWERE
STRUCK INTO HIS HANDS AND FEET ,HE SIMPLY
SAID,”O GOD,MAY THY WILL BE DONE!” SWAMI
DAYANANDA ALSO SAID THE SAME THING WHEN HE
WAS BREATHING THE LAST “GOD LET YOUR WILL
PREVAIL”AFTER BEING HIT BY THE BULLET,MAHATMA
GANDHI UTTERED THE NAME OF GOD.WHY DID ALL
THE THREE GREAT MEN DO THE SAME THING?IT IS
BECAUSE THEY HAD PROFOUND FAITH IN GOD AND
THEY DEDICATED THEMSELVES TO HIM THROUGHOUT
THEIR WORLDLY SOJOURN.
 NOBODY CAN REACH HIS DESTINATION WITHOUT
GOD’S HELP BECAUSE ALL PATHS ULTIMATELY MERGE
IN GOD.THAT IS WHY WE PRAY TO GOD WHEN WE
BEGIN ANY PROJECT.A SAINT HAS RIGHTLY SAID THAT
IF WE DO ANYWORK WITHOUT DEDICATION AND
PRAYER IT LACKS THE FRAGRANCE ;IT BECOMES DRY
AND LACKS THE ESSENCE.ALL SAINTS EMPHASIZE THE
FACT THAT THE GIFT OF LIFE IS GIVEN TO MAN FOR
DEVOTION AND PRAYER AND TO DO GOOD DEEDS.

GOD IS OUR BENEFACTOR.HE IS OUR TRUE

FRIEND.HE IS OUR KIND FATHER.KRISHNA SAYS IN
THE GITA. “SURRENDER YOURSELF TO ME.I WILL RID
YOU OF ALL PAIN AND SORROW”.BUT WE DO NOT
HEED THE THE WORD OF THE LORD.WE CARRY NOT
ONLY OUR OWN BUT ALSO WORLD’S BURDEN ON
US.IT IS BECAUSE OF EGO.ONCE THE EGO MERGES
INTO HIM,WE GET INTO A BLISSFUL STATE OF MIND.IN
FACT OUR SOUL REPRESENTS GOD BECAUSE WE ARE
HIS CHILDREN.BUT IT IS OUR PRIDE WHICH STANDS IN
THE WAY.OUR SENSES MISLEAD US. OUR GREED AND
LUST TAKE US TAKE US AWAY FROM THE PATH OF
RIGHTEOUSNESS AND DEVOTION. WE SHOULD SHUN
ALL EVILS AND SURRENDER TO THE ALMIGHTY GOD.

ONCE WE SURRENDER TO GOD,WE ARE THEN

FREE FROM WORLDLY WORRIES,LUST AND GREED.THE
MODE OF OUR LIFE CHANGES.THE QUALITY OF LIFE
CHANGES.IT IS ON SUCH OCCASSIONS THAT
DEVOTEES LIKE KABIR,TULSI AND SUR SANG IN
ECSTASY AND GAVE TO THE WORLD IMMORTAL
SONGS OF DEVOTION.VINOBA BHAVE RIGHTLY
SAID ,“ANYBODY WHO SEES GOD BEFORE HIS EYES IS
ENLIGHTENED,BUT GOD IS STANDING ON MY BACK
AND THIS FAITH IS ENOUGH FOR ME”.WE SHOULD
SURRENDER TO HIM ALL OUR ACTIONS AND THE
RESULT THEREOF.GITA SAYS,“ANY WORK DONE
WITHOUT FAITH AND DEVOTION IS OF NO
CONSEQUENCE IN THIS OR THE NEXT WORLD.’’

DEAR STUDENTS!YOU ARE STILL TENDER AGE.YOU

HAVE ENTIRE LIFE BEFORE YOU WITH ALL ITS
PLEASURE AND PAINS.LEARN TO PRAY TO GOD.LEARN
TO SURRENDER TO HIM.LEARN TO HAVE FAITH IN
HIM.HE IS KINDNESS INCARNATE.HE IS OUR TRUE
FATHER.HE WILL PROTECT YOU AND GUIDE YOU.HE
WILL ACCOMPANY YOU AT EVERY STEP.NEVER
CONSIDER YOURSELF HELPLESS.DO NOT LET YOUR
EGO STAND BETWEEN YOU AND GOD.SURRENDER TO
HIM COMPLETELY WITH LOVE AND DEVOTION.
