Who am I? Who is God?
 |
It is not that God is not PRESENT every moment of every day. He is ever PRESENT, every day. God is present in everyone, and belongs to everyone, and is all-capable. That is what God really is. So when God is PRESENT everywhere, would He not reside within you as well? Of course He dwells within you as well. And when He is said to be omnipresent, that means He is present right now too. And when He is present everywhere, and all the time, then does He not belong to you? He does, and this is what love is. When you love someone or something, you feel that they belong to you so totally. This is Devotion.
Always remember this: God is not a person, He is a power, a VIBRATION that is manifest everywhere, and that power resides within us as well. The aim of man’s life is to have this question arise from deep within, 'Who am I? Who is God?' This is good enough. One who knows the answer to this will not tell you, and he who tells you the answer to this does not truly know (laughter).
This question does not arise in the MINDS of many people. Most people just continue to live life in a mechanical and superficial way, spending their time just eating, drinking and sleeping. But when one sincerely inquires about life and the secrets of life, that is when one’s (spiritual) journey truly begins.
