Don’t Ask, Give.

Don’t ask from God the great Unknown, Give, Give yourself to God.

He needs no sacrifice or chants or donations or gifts from you. We do all that to appease our senses, wants and guilt from others. We do all that to remind ourselves and others of him but not for him.  We do it perhaps to help others, or we do such things often because the people or the society we live in demands that of us. Over time we defend it and teach rest to defend it. But that’s not the core discussion here. The unknown needs nothing from us neither is he a demanding and punitive God who will remove mercy from you when you don’t. Such are tales told by desperate Men seeking power desperately. Skewed optics from strangers who cared less of God the unknown and you.

God never pushes or removes the air that you breathe. He makes it available for you, but you still have to breathe. That’s the way. He doesn’t need you or anything from you. But you need him. Not to gain glory, or fame in this world, not to amass wealth or such. Sure, they may be given to you. But if those are why you seek God. Good luck finding him, what you may find instead is terrifying, a creation of man, an accumulation of sin of all men before you; and it will ultimately deceive you. No, however; what you receive from God in your true surrender is inexplicable, only you and your soul can experience this wholesome satisfying truth. Even if it is just a brief moment, it gives an everlasting direction for the remainder of your life. You have now a choice and a path. Wise men and women of the past have shared their journey of such pursuits. Some stayed on this course till their last breath. Yes, it is worth this lifetime and beyond. What are a few decades compared to ten billion years or more. How can one complete this infinite journey in a very minuscule amount of time called life. No, we are not that fortunate but we are fortunate enough to know and share this truth.

We all seek knowledge and wish to experience God, but we utterly fail to realize God’s answers don’t use words or even languages sometimes. How can I describe something in words which doesn’t exist in the premise or context of any words spoken. Such is the surrender no matter how infinitely brief or as consuming as an entire life it can be.

In all ancient texts written and realized this very truth remains unaltered though variedly interpreted by men seeking glory versus celebrating Gods’. It is also important to note, that those who see the world fully cannot help but be naturally drawn into this noble pursuit and journey. Both the poor and wealthy ultimately seek this as they all end up with the same “why” and wander one way or another, painfully or emptily. All never ending “reason” without a ‘.’period, is enough to get you started. 

But those who see this world with only a lens to amass things to satisfy their senses will never lead this journey. They give labels like safety and security, thin veils covering the self-deceit. But those who seek with a pure heart, rest assured for them the things they need for their journey will always be provided no matter how long or short their journey may be. Life is a departure and death a return in his eyes, so do not judge any life upon scales laid by empty men on this planet. He is the judge and deliver, he provides and takes as he wishes. A tree’s leaves are its own, they belong to the sun, the rain, the wind, and finally the ground from which the tree started the cycle.

Therefore, don’t ask of God for things, Give yourself to God. Surrender your pride, your ego, your will to him the unknown. And watch him guide you majestically. Don’t be fooled to expect guarantees of hope, nor comfort nor joy in your surrender. May you find peace as soon as you can, for its never in the beginning like many expect it to be. Remember that we have all grown to be tainted in our hearts from the moment we began to crawl, we have over time drifted far from God, so therefore one must endure, objectively discern their senses, always check if their ego interferes or deceives them in this eternal surrender for many, many fall into this trap. It is the nature of ego. A mechanism created for self-preservation that quietly controls all mechanisms when left uncontrolled.

So carefully, and enduringly, Let God the great unknown show you his infinite possessions of this universe and wisdom. You shall bow to be his witness in this world and beyond. Be Well. Written as received. To know why I gave a gender to the great unknown refer to previously received words. “received words” refers to my want to surrender to the unknown and a rejection of self. By no means must it be interpreted as I am of any importance here, in fact it is to state the very exact opposite, these are not my words as my cognition can merely serve as an observer to report the grandeur of his eternal movements in all of us, and this infinitely beautiful universe. All praise to the Unknown.
