Unshakable Faith
Unshakable faith in God + Her will
Nothing short of this
Take thorough refuge in Her.
Give up all fears,
all anxieties, all doubts,
all thoughts of weakness.
You have to put yourself under the guidance and control of an all-powerful being.
Let Her do what She pleases with you.
Give up I and Mine.
Make no plans.
Let nothing of the past or future disturb you.
God is the sole doer and you are Her child, Her servant.
Your I and Mine has no existance. it is all She, She alone.
Submit, resign, surrender yourself to Her.
Be always cheerful, peaceful + blissful. In this state you will always remain. this is your goal.
God is always in you, + you are always in Her.
She and You are one. This is the truth.
