Your Mission Has Begun

Your mission has begun. Those are My words to you, My devotees. Each of you has a unique and valuable part to play in this lifetime. Only those whom I have called can serve Me. 

My Mission has now reached that point in time when each of you now has work to do. This planet has a purpose in the great galaxy in which it is held. That purpose is now unfolding before our eyes. I call upon you to radiate the Bhakti (devotion) within you, so that its unseen power will envelop all who come into your orbit. To successfully perform your part, always remain centred upon Me. 

Allow yourself to impart that purity of heart within you towards all human beings and all living creatures and do not reach for the fruits of your work. 

This part of My Mission is performed in absolute silence. You are My instruments from whom My love will pour. Be always aware, that the moment you let your ego descend upon you My work ceases. When you have overcome your negative un-mindfulness, you will again become My Source. 

The multiplication of My Love will be felt throughout the world. I have prepared you for this work over many incarnations. I have drawn you to Me. I have made great steps in My Mission over these past incarnations. My work is ceaseless and so your work, too, is without end. 
Know that I am within and without you. There is no difference. Rid yourselves of the petty matters forevermore. You are now in Me, and I am now in Thee. There is no difference. My Darshan (spiritual blessings) will pour forth from Me, to and through you. You may be unaware of this constant action. Be ever pure of heart and soul and mankind in your lifetime will benefit from your unique qualities. 

Others, too, will join Me in this Mission when I draw them to Me. The time is approaching when all humanity will live in harmony. That time will be here sooner than one expects. Before it arrives be prepared for whatever is needed to reveal to every living thing the true purpose of existence. It is not what anyone alive can imagine. It is not something that one can try to aspire to. It is beyond all comprehension. I can say that its beauty is magnificent beyond all dreams. And as each of you perform your silent work, I embrace you to My Heart and henceforth your souls shall be lifted up, and your eyes will reveal My Presence within. 

This I say to all My Devotees from the Lord's Mountain Top, where all the Universes become one. Be about My work, My beloved Bhaktas. Your breath will carry the scent of the blossoms of Heaven. Your example will be that of Angels. Your joy will be My Joy.
