Invoking the Divine

An electric plug in the house can be made use of to hear a song over the radio, to cool ourselves with the breeze of a fan, to boil water, to cook or to warm the room with the heater. It all depends upon the instrument we plug into it. It is never possible that electricity flowing through the fan, of its own accord, can start emitting fire or light.Similarly, the unmanifest eternal force of life can be invoked, and it shall fulfil all desires through us according to the type of our invocations.The fuel strength in the petrol can be converted into horsepower through the mechanism under the bonnet. We can invoke the horsepower to reach our destination, or we can easily dump ourselves into a mass of twisted wreckage on the wayside and become a bundle of broken bones.With neither attachment nor hatred, the petrol gives its power when invoked through the mechanism of the engine, and how to make use of the power depends on us and our wisdom in employing it.Similarly, the Lord, a mass of dynamism, is the source of all activities and achievements. We are given the equipment through which we can, as we like, invoke this infinite mind.If we rightly invoke and carefully use the equipments, we can reach the goal of our activities. If we misuse them, the very same divine force can be the cause of our utter disaster.There is a powerhouse within us and yet we live in a state of permanent power failure.
