Corruption of God, The

The Corruption of God Q: My mind seems to always keep going and this dis¬ turbs me very much. It constantly interferes with my m e d i t a t i o n .

A: Your mind disturbs you only because you are fascinated by it. Q: If 1relinquish this fascination will Ibe Free? A; Yes. The end of that fascination is the birth of Enlightenment. Q; Ifeel that Istill have to understand more before I can relinquish this fascination.

A: Your need to understand more is the expression of doubt. You are bargaining with God. You will never find Freedom that way. You cannot bargain with Him. To Him you can only offer everything. The degree to which you are ready to give everything for that Freedom is the exact degree to which you will be Free. Q; Ican't give everything because my mind always wants to know more. It wants to be sure that in that absolute giving there will be safety. 1 3 7

A: The mind is only amachine. It has no self-nature. It is not your mind that hesitates. It is you. You fear God and because of this, you hesitate. The ego is nothing more than the doubt that your fear of God arises from. What gives the mind the illusion of self-nature is your fascination with doubt and fear. The ego is the illusion of self-nature that you alone give to the mind. That is the corruption of God. 1 3 8
