To experience God, we have to denounce the world completely. This statement made me feel strange . I used to think' how can we denounce the world completely for God? Is it possible?'.
The Spirit of God gave an answer through a dream. It goes like this;
A family with two children was seen busily purchasing in a super market. The children was curious about the things in the market and cried for buying all they liked. When the parents saw the eagerness of their kids, they asked each one of them to grab a basket and collect all the things they liked in the market.The children rushed with happiness and picked up all favorite things that the basket was overloaded and was hard to be carried. with great effort they brought the baskets to their parents who asked them to carry it to the lady in the billing counter and return all of the goods that they loaded. the parents asked them to do this with a smiling face and to tell the lady that 'we are happy with the things we collected,but we don't want this as it is too heavy to be carried'. When the children returned back from the cash counter they were found to be relieved and happier than they were before. they held the hands of their parents and went back happily.
Lord said, this is how we can denounce everything of the world. While living in this world we are like those children in the dream, we find everything beautiful and attractive, but once we get it, the fancy is finished and our mind still hopes for another. The worldly things always creates an unsatisfied mind and falls on us as a burden.
Collect all our worldly fancies in the basket of our mind and return them to God...'we are happy with the things we collected,but we don't want this as they are too heavy to be carried'.... Let us make our mind empty for God to reside in us. He will give us what we deserve.
