Are You a Devil Worshipper or a God Worshipper?

Whose servant are we?  How can we find out?

We have to find out that during our life, our days and nights, whom do we obey?  What are our occupations?  What is the center of our attention and what and who determine the direction of our move?  What is the motive of our efforts? 

Hence we can learn whose servant are we?  Who are, in fact, our lord and commander?  To whom are we drawing close?

Man becomes servant to whatever he surrenders to and obeys; he is the servant of whatever he pays attention to and moves towards it.  When one loves something and desires it, he tries to get it and becomes occupied with it.  How do most people live?  The dark and evil ego is ruling over us.  What do you believe evil ego is?  It is made of personal aspirations, feelings, instantaneous and transient emotions and selfish desires and so forth...

Most of us are constantly living according to the orders of our evil ego; we think, talk, act and decide according to these selfish desires and personal feelings.

Whose servant are we when we obey the orders of our evil ego, our selfishness and conceit?  Aren't we practically but Satan's servant?

What occupations other than individual and unstable desires keep us busy during day and night?  Whom, therefore, had we chosen as our god and master?  Is it but Satan? 

For whom do we work for?  Don't we spend our energy to satisfy our evil ego and personal desires?  Is God's satisfaction the same as Satan's?  Have we made God when we work for Satan's joy?  Is closeness to Satan the same as closeness to God?  Not ever! 

However, we are not willing to admit it so easily; we close our eyes to our devil worshipping, idolatry and ignorance.  And when we doubt about these facts, we justify ourselves and simply deny our evil aspirations which are not but our selfishness and self worshipping.  Woe to us...

Let's become conscious and examine our acts.  Let's not Satan stand in our way.  Satan fears you find out about his intentions for then it will be all up with him.  Evil ego tries to defend itself; it doubts, delays, resists, wears you out, keeps you busy with something else, makes you fear and stimulates you pessimism...

Fear this Satan who has sworn in front of God to stand in man's way to Him. 

We may well pretend that our lord is the Unique Creator we love and seek to be united with Him.  Yet pay attention to your acts, words and decisions and examine their grounds.  Are they based upon divine orders, guidance and laws, or upon personal feelings, selfish and evil desires?

Fear the wrath and great affliction of the Living Lord, for the true king and the mighty sovereign of heavens and earth is alive and present right now, right here and everywhere.  But most of us are serving our self satisfaction and obeying the false and delusive king and following our evil ego.  Woe to us.  We are ignoring the Merciful and Compassionate Lord; we have turned our back to Him and are occupied with our desires or the traps of Satan.  Woe to us.  We are befriending the Lord's enemy and encouraging our egoistic wishes. 

According to you pagans, idolaters, devil worshippers and polytheists of past times were in error and cursed.  Yet you are idolaters as well.  You have created mental idols and are worshipping your mental presumptions and imaginations.  You are, indeed, introducing other gods into your worship, for you do not rely and lean only on His authority and existence and do not fear Him alone. 

Human beings belong to two categories; they are either devil worshippers or God worshippers.  The first category live according to selfishness and conceit; while the second lives and moves upon the Lord's love and for Him. 

We live in hostility and antagonism with the Providence. Why?  For not only do we disobey the one we should obeyed but we go against his commands as well. 

He tells us, ''Come to me''; yet we go to His enemy, Satan or our egotism.  He orders us to act right, yet we are busy doing wrong things.  He tells us to avoid sins, yet we entice others to commit sins.  Such a person is an enemy of God even though he pretends the contrary.  He has abandoned his soul which is the spirit of God and is occupied with the devil of his being or his dark ego.  Can I consider as a friend he who is hostile to my friend and befriends my enemy? 

If we do not discover our illness we shall not be able to cure it.  First we have to diagnose then to treat.  But if we doubt or deny our sickness, there will be no need for treatment.  But can doubt and denial be a cure to our ill?

If we neglect to take the necessary measures, it will be likely that our illness causes our death.  Therefore, make haste to return to the Lord. 

Devil worshipping is the only sickness.  Its roots lie in selfishness, its cause is conceit, its symptom is to see to one's personal desires and its effects can be seen as pain and anxiety, as hardship and worry, as loneliness and incapacity in everyone's life.  To cure all these ills, they need a physician - the divine teacher.  He prescribes love, to love the Lord and to pay attention to Him, to serve Him and to perceive His Presence.  The main treatment is an absolute obedience to God and the true healer is Himself as well. 

We have to obey and follow the Divine Spirit who is the representative and the channel of the Lord inside of us; we have to be absolutely submitted to His orders.  We have to deprive our evil ego to rule over us and rise up against Satan, his desires and deceits.  We have to turn to and obey the Spirit of the Lord who is the presence of the Living Lord within us.

Symptoms of illness and death are detectable in our appearance, behavior and attitudes; and if they have remained hidden from people around us and cannot be identified is that those people are as sick as we are.  A blind can never show the way to another blind. 

Now a person who can see and hear arrives; he should be the divine teacher.  A master who knows of divine mysteries and his being has been enlightened and awakened.  From the very first look, he detects and forewarns us of our deadly and terrible disease - devil worshipping and egotism.  He insists that we are sick.  Not only do we deny any sickness, but to support our point of view, we also use the inconsiderate opinions of people around us.  But our rescue depends on believing in the person and the guidance of the master.  Now if we don't, he is not going to loose anything.  On the contrary, we shall perish and die, our pain and troubles will increase.  But if we do, the enlightened master will begin his treatment.                

In case we admit our disease and trust ourselves to the Spirit of God - the master -we should not interfere with his will, nor should we stand on his way or resist.  We have to trust completely ourselves to him and execute every word of his prescription and carry out, with a genuine love, duties he assigns to us. 

Nonetheless, there is a point we have to take into consideration.  Apparently, this ingenious doctor does not ask any payment in return.  But is it conceivable to not pay anything - any money or a comparable worth?  Does anything exist in this world which has no price at all?

...We have to be active and persevering in spreading the presence of God and divine love.  We have to act to the maximum capacity and possibilities.  We have to teach to others whatever we have learned, to remain faithful to the source of our teachings.  We should not betray the divine trust nor should we desire to show off or to lay claim to those teachings.  We should be a means in God's hand and a channel to diffuse His ideas. 

The true price of the divine teachings is us, indeed.  In the course of the returning journey to the Lord, we have to ignore our person and to give ourselves to Him.  This is the price to the divine teachings.
