Vol.1 Part 2 - Other Themes:Festivals and Holy Days

Why do you have festival celebrations during the year? It is an opportunity to awaken the mind of man and take his mind away from material matters and the affairs of the world. That is the true significance.


So, all festivals are for the benefit of man, not for the benefit of saints or others whose names are connected with these festivals, for they have found their own salvation.


Today should be a festival day, and tomorrow and every other day of the year. It should be your festival, the occasion when you turn to the Lord and light the candle within your own heart to illuminate your whole being, so that you may see clearly the path that leads back to God.


There is no other way, no other path, and that is why I tell you so often to open your hearts, let the love flow, and live in total harmony with God and the universe which He has created. That way you will rise up to the higher levels of consciousness, where you and God really manifest as one. This is the true state of unity and divinity, the complete merging of the soul with God. That is the end of the long path which you are treading at present.


Awaken, My children, listen to the voice of God. Let His love light up your soul and then you will see the light and hasten your journey along the path. It is within the grasp of all of you and it is only you and your material attitude to life that prevents real progress along the path.
