he who chooses has been chosen.

A magnificent phrase and so true.
He who chooses the Divine has been chosen by the Divine. The Divine holds him tight and will not let go. It is this choosing by the Divine that gives some people the inner confidence and the certitude that they feel. They seem to have the courage to face any mountainous difficulty. for they have the assurance of arriving. This certitude gives them unfailing patience, and indomitable courage to face obstacles.
Put yourself with all your heart and all your strength into God"s hands. Make no conditions, ask for nothing, not even for siddhi nothing at all except that in you and through you His will may be directly performed for those who demand from him he gives what they demand, but to those who give themselves and demand nothing. He gives everything that they might otherwise have asked or needed and in addition he gives himself and the spontaneous boons of his love. 
for them the calm the light the power the bliss the freedom the wideness the heights of knowledge, the seas of Ananda.
