Find God in your own Heart

The Lord stated in the Gita, "Only when you renounce all selfishness

and attachment, only when you treat joy and sorrow with an equal

mind and practice forbearance in all circumstances, will you become

my devotee and very dear to me."

Embodiments of Love,

To have an equal mind, to be free of attachments and concern for

yourself and your family, is difficult for ordinary spiritual

seekers. Particularly for householders, such equanimity of mind and

detachment is almost impossible. They are able to worship God

through the various types of spiritual practices which have been

prescribed in the scriptures. But for them to destroy their ego and

remove all sense of I-ness and my-ness would be very difficult. Why

is that so? It is difficult to eliminate the ego as long as you

differentiate your own will from the command and will of the Lord.

You have doubts and are unable to surrender because you see others

and the world as separate from God. It is only when you recognize

that God is dwelling in all people everywhere, in the form of an

ever luminous light shining in the temple of their hearts, that you

will be able to eliminate your egoism and surrender fully to God.

Once you recognize the all-pervasive unity of the Lord you will have

no difficulty following him. Know that the self-effulgent flame of

God's presence which resides in all people also resides in you. The

one who protects all people is an integral part of your own form.

Sri Sathya Sai Baba
