11 LIVING WITH THE DIVINE PRESENCE
God is not on a distant planet somewhere far away. Consciousness of the Truth makes one experience the Divine presence all the time, everywhere they go. SatChitAnanda makes one look beyond the bone and the skin, to experience the Divine that lives within. It stops one in their search of God in a temple, monastery or a church. It is about living joyously and Blissfully, moment by moment, with the Divine presence.
Ananda is experienced because we becomes conscious of the Divine within. Every heartbeat is a whisper from God. Every breath makes us conscious of the Lord as we live with the Consciousness that God not only lives in the temple of our heart but is present in every human being, every bird, every animal, every flower, and every leaf that is alive. This creates a euphoria of Joy, an ecstasy of Bliss, and a Divine Peace and tranquillity, unknown to man. Living in the Divine presence all the time is SatChitAnanda, Consciousness in every moment that unfolds, of the Divine Truth that everything around is God. There is nothing else. Everything that we see, touch or feel is God manifesting as His creation. When one lives in the Divine presence all the time, one is transported to a life of Bliss unknown to man. Those who don't experience such a Divine Consciousness look up into the skies and pray, without understanding the Truth of who is the God they pray to and what is the meaning of what they say. They miss the Divine experience of SatChitAnanda as they live and die in ignorance.
