![Prem Rawat - Maharaji - Ask yourself Will today be the day?](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/FKq-VR8-pfs/default.jpg)
Will today be the day I will feel immeasurable joy?
Will today be the day that I will understand the value of my existence?
WIll today be the day when my heart will sing in its real Gratitude- "Thank you"
I want that in MY life! And I want that in my life for ME!
![Prem Rawat - Maharaji - Where the story begins!](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Z_6tqt7NKag/default.jpg)
Because this is about that sweet simplicity. How would like your story to begin?
Do you want you want your story to begin "Once upon a time" or would you like your story to begin "Once there is! Living- breathing- most unique person, on the face of this earth". There is no one like you. No one can smile like you.
It is the joy, the gratitude, the expression that makes you unique!

![Prem Rawat - Maharaji - Passion- the ultimate love](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/aKg5qgH4tFo/default.jpg)
When you say- I love my car- and people start believing that they love their car. You can’t really "love" your car. You can only "like" your car. People say- I just Love gardening! That's my passion. Okay, that's your hobby and you like it. But it isn’t that if you are dying, you will say- No, no I need to be in garden, don't take me to hospital!
When I want to be passionate about something, it needs to be truly real- not just figment of imagination. So what is it- that's truly real, amazing, incredible, not imagination? Not only it does have to be real, but it has to be amazing. Then- to unleash! Passion is not one of the things that you generate. Passion is something you only unleash. You just open the gates, and it comes pouring in.
Every human being has a capacity to love. I am not just talking of love, I am talking of the ultimate love. All the things put in front of it may inspire some amount of love. But the right thing placed in front of it- would make it dynamically explode! Infinite passion- this is every single human being’s capacity.

Freedom- What is true freedom? I don’t speak of freedom that other people think of. I am talking of freedom that can be experienced in prison. When you are locked up, has your freedom been taken away? Yes! One freedom has been taken away, but there is another freedom that cannot be taken away- even in prison. And that's the real freedom. Peace that can be felt in the middle of the battlefield- that's the real peace. Nobody can take away from you. And that's your reality. And that is Who you are!

![Prem Rawat - Maharaji - The Want for Peace](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Gy6sQ0RISeY/default.jpg)
The need for peace comes from within you. It is not an intellectual peace. Peace is a desire of your heart. Because in you lies the possibility of peace. The face of peace is none other than yourself when you are in peace. Peace does not belong to any nation or society or religion. Peace belongs to people, like you and me and the peace will manifest in the cathedral of your heart. That is the only pure place that is.
![Prem Rawat - Maharaji - How people portray God- Amusing](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/VXaS1NJLXsY/default.jpg)
When I say God, I don't mean to say a God with a face, and two eyes and a Temperament. I mean the way people present or portray God - Touchy, Touchy, Touchy! You put this glass over here - that's it you're gone - Pitch fork and barbequed. You are toasted!
I don't know if you have ever watched Clint Eastwood movies- With cigarette in the mouth that twinkle in the eye, and hand on the Gun - Make my day! The way people portray God, is almost working for the devil. No, not the face, not make-my-day type of God. I'm talking of God who is truly Omnipotent, is Omniscient, and is Omnipresent. Doesn't need a face, doesn't need twinkle in the eye, doesn't need bad temperament. But passion and compassion, and in this Universe and the universes beyond, holding them all together. From dust creates the Sun, the moon, the earth. And for all of it to go on. from nothing to create everything. From nothing to create this earth. To create ceiling without the pillars. And you to have the ability to witness this, not just see. To see is one thing, but be able to admire.
