God Pervades Everywhere - Puhya Ramsukhdasji Maharaj

June 16, 2007

The most important fact, is that God (manifest or unmanifest),

pervades everywhere - in all persons, things, incidents,

circumstances and actions and there is never any modification in Him,

while matter always undergoes modifications. As a diver, dives into

an ocean and is engulfed in water all around, similarly a spiritual

aspirant, should feel God all around and also wihin him. The only aim

of mankind is to realize God, Who is ever realizable, but we do not

feel Him, because we divert our attention towards perishable things.

If we had exclusive devotion to attain only Him, our mind would be

automatically concentrated on Him. Space is all around us, and so is

God, but we do not pay attention to this. Therefore a spiritual

aspirant, abandoning all thoughts of the world, should be indifferent

and quiet. He, while concentrating his mind on God, commits an error,

that he opposes a thought that comes to the mind, and then has

affinity with that thought. He has affinity for a thought, if he is

attached to it. Therefore a stirver should neither oppose any

thought, nor support it. He should only remain indifferent and attain

tranquility or quietude.

All projections of the mind are transient, as these are born, they

will certainly disappear. We should not accept our affinity with them

and only accept affinity with God that pervades everywhere. It is

only when we confine ourselves to this body, that our separate entity

comes in to existence that " I am " . This individuality that we

perceive is also enveloped by God who is limitless. He is the

embodiment of truth, knowledge, bliss, equinamity, and tranquility.

God is the illuminator of all things and actions. He is the One

Light, that remains as is. Just as the light has no relation with the

actions, objects and persons, similarly God too has no relation with

objects and actions that are transitory, while He is the origin.

Being established in Him, one should not think of anything. (Gita

6:25)
