Awakening Divinity in Man (Translation of a discourse of Revered Pandit Shriram Sharma Acharya)

(Post 14)

Friends! When God is pleased, He does not give you the petty worldly things you hanker after. Rather, He bestows on you God-like qualities, which elevate your soul. The lives of world's really great personage demonstrate this fact. None among them was such who did not receive God's grace, guidance and co-operation of the masses they served. Give me one name of a great personality who was not endowed with any Godly qualities of compassion, love, faith and service, and who did not elicit spontaneous and loving co-operation from those who followed him. The noble values and principles of morality, ethics and spontaneity, when adopted in conduct, help in enhancement of talents and resources. Saints adhere to great ideals of God-like lives. They are never poor; required resources arrive at their doorstep, but they do not accumulate them, they generously share them with the needy.
