HELL! A lot of people always blame the devil for making them do mean things. Rubbish! It's not Lucifer, Satan or that Fire King of Hades. It is actually you but your ego won't let you admit it.
For example, you are not supposed to play golf on a particular Sunday because you promise your wife that you are taking her to church. But at the last minute, the call from the golf course was too strong. You gave in to your inner urging and took out your golf clubs.
Of course, this act on your part doesn't earn your any brownie points with your wife and family but you don't really care. All you could do was utter (much later) with a guilty tone: "Oh, the devil made me do it."
Yeah, once again that hellfire lord gets the blame. Actually it's you and nobody else. There's no devil behind you, inside you and on top of you. Everybody is responsible for his own actions. You do what you want to do.
If everybody knows the logic and power behind this line, they would do a lot of astounding things but generally, individuals tend to believe or follow their inner voices.
"The devil's talking to me," they say. Hogwash! Nobody's talking to you except your misguided conscience. When a mind dwells on undesirable things, it creates a breeding ground for unsavoury thoughts.
If you persists on thinking only good stuff and generating kind thoughts, sooner or later your mind will develop a fragrance of its own. They say that what's good will blossom into beautiful things.
All things of virtues can only projectlight and peace. That begs the question: why are people so afraid of being labelled as goody-two-shoes. Really, what's wrong with being described as a good chap, a nice guy, a kind bloke. I simply can't comprehend the criticism that is heaped on those who are naturaly kind-hearted and compassionate.
Frankly, we need more good people now than at any time during the past 100 years. The devil is not responsible for terrible things that happen in our lives. It is us. We want it. We work for it. We engineer it. If that sounds shocking, you will be jolted to numbness to learn that you are also a creator of heaven and hell.
Heaven is within you, as it was said two thousand years ago. If you meditate on it long enough, it will dawn on you that you are the heaven that you have been searching for.
Yes, my friends, heaven is here. There is no other place, and now is the time. Those are not my words. I borrow them from another who found the answers a long time ago.
Actually, there's no time but that's another story.
Forget about the devil and he will lose his hold on you. Fear him, and you will add to his strength. Pay him no heed and he will slither away. You are the light that chases away the shadow. You are the paradise that transforms all kinds of hell into fading dreams.
The devil has too long been able to sink his claws on our backs because we invite the idea of him into our minds and let him occupy the rooms in our hearts. It's time for some spring-cleaning. Let the devil begone. You don't need him. He's not real.
You are real. You are alive. You are the holy one who walks, talks and moves with the celestial wind. You are the one whom God talks to.
Who's talking? God, of course. You can only hear him if your mind is silent. Suddenly, he's there, and everywhere. Listen with your heart. See only the light. Forget about the self-created horned one. He's not there. The light is what it's all about.
Follow the light, see the light and bathe in it. Then you will in need of nothing else. You will then be complete.
