Swamiji, how should we relate with God?
God is not any separate entity for you to relate with Him. Understand that first. He is not sitting above your heads in a place called heaven and waiting for you to relate with Him. He is there in each and every thing in this Universe. Everything has been created by him.
He is the creator, creation and the created. He is the experiencer, the experienced and the experience. God is the name that we have given to Existence, that’s all. When you understand this, you have started experiencing God; then there is no question of relating with God.
People ask me if I feel close to God. I tell them that I am God! I tell them that they are also God! But of course they are not willing to accept it. They want to know how to get close to God. Close itself means there is some small distance separating you and God. I am telling you that you are God! Then where is the question of close?! Do you understand what I am trying to say? It is so simple! God is nothing but the name that you have given to Existence, and you are a part of Existence.
When you live in tune with Existence, when you have found your connection with Existence, you are God, that’s all. When you live with a feeling of intimacy with anything and anyone that comes your way, you become pure Consciousness. When you can feel the same love towards everyone around you irrespective of whether you know them or not, you are experiencing God in you. This is a simple scale to tell you how far away you are from God Consciousness.
When you start falling in tune with Existence, you will start hearing the inner voice in you. Then no other guide is needed. You don’t need people to tell you what to do and what not to do. You will simply know; your intelligence will keep guiding you. You will flow without feeling the heaviness of having to make decisions. A Master is one who can awaken that inner voice in you. He works on you to awaken your intelligence.
Most of us can love only with a reason. This is how strong our ego is. When you are like this, be very clear, you are very far away from God! We claim that we shower love on our family and friends. Just look at all the Masters who have happened on planet Earth till now. What is the common quality that have drawn them to their mission? Pure Love, that’s all. If they experienced the ordinarily love that you feel in your day-to-day lives, do you think they would have been able to set up their mission?
Is it possible to set up a worldwide mission with just ordinary love? How much of drive would ordinary love give? It will in fact make you tired soon! If Masters have time and again reached people across the world transforming lives, it is because of the Divine Love and oneness that they feel with every single human being on planet Earth.
In fact, if you read their biographies, you will see that almost all of them have put their family aside, have incurred the wrath of their family and have gone about reaching out to people. Family always resists in these cases. Of course, once maturity and awareness come in, they start accepting and following like the rest of the world.
Anything that makes you feel separate from God is ego. When there is ego, you cannot love consistently and with the same deep feeling all the time; your love will be highly subjective. It will keep moving between extremes.
Watch the body language of Masters and you will know what resonating with Divine love is. The easiest way to fall in tune with Existence, is by watching the Master’s body language. A Master is in tune with Existence all the time. He exudes love all the time, irrespective of who is in front of him. When you watch his body language, you will imbibe the qualities behind it.
If you watch the Master over time, you will be able to perceive how he flows like a river, so beautifully, so poetically, so synchronously, in tune with Existence. Every action of his is in perfect synchronism with Existence. That is why it is so beautiful to watch him! Simply by watching the Master, you can understand and feel the beauty and flow of Existence.
Because a Master is ego-less, he flows without blockages. Because he does not have consciousness of ‘I’ and ‘Mine’, he flows. Because he radiates nothing but love, he heals. Healing is nothing but concentrated love. That is why time and again, we have heard of the miraculous healing powers of Masters. That is why Masters are looked upon as God. Be very clear: Masters are the only living God. They are the supreme manifestation of the Ultimate Energy.
So, stop worrying about how to relate with God. Start falling in tune with Existence, and become God.
Remember: You cannot conquer Existence. You can only be conquered by Existence. When you lose your entire ego, you are conquered, that’s all! When you become a conducive womb for God, He will reside in you. In the initial stages, you are a guest and he is a host. Ultimately, you have to become the host; you have to become a womb to receive Him. Becoming a womb means, melting and becoming vulnerable. Becoming vulnerable means, shedding your entire ego and dissolving - into God or Existence. Then, life becomes music and an eternal celebration!
Yes…We will now do a beautiful and very effective meditation technique called the Divya Netra Meditation*, for this Ajna chakra.
