The whole world prays to a God in a temple, in a church, in a monastery, a synagogue, or a Gurudwara, going from pilgrimage to pilgrimage in search of God. But God can never be found. God has to be realized. God is everywhere, just like air. God is a Power, not a statue, not a saint. Because we cannot comprehend God, we try to paint a picture from our imagination. If we want God, we have to realize God within. We have to experience God as our heartbeat and as our Consciousness.
God is in you and God is in me. God is in a butterfly and God is in a tree. But because we are spiritually blind, this Truth we cannot see. Thus, we keep on searching for God, from birth until death, following the dictate of our religion.
Religion is only a kindergarten to spirituality. It can only teach us the ABC of God. To realize God within, we must graduate in the university of spirituality. We don't have to change our religion, but we have to ask questions and investigate, till we realize the Truth that God is within.
God arrives at birth and departs at death as the Divine Soul within us, energizing each of our trillions of cells as we walk, talk, move and live. This ultimate Truth, when realized, will transform our life and liberate us from all suffering. To realize the Truth, we have to stop seeking God outside. We must go within.
