Chapter 6
Experience God !
Nobody can ‘see’ God, but everybody can ‘experience’ God. Different people may take different amount of time to connect with God, depending on the amount of faith, hope, enthusiasm, trust and belief they have; but everybody can experience God. In fact, experiencing God is easy because it is a natural process. To experience God, we must first acknowledge God. We must accept the existence of the Supreme Power. We have already established that there is a Power; a Power that created the entire Universe. Hence, there should be no doubt regarding the existence of God. Though we cannot see, touch, or feel God, we all can experience God. Let us see how we can do that.
Surrender yourself to the Creator with the faith that the Power exists, with the hope that you will be able to connect, and with the belief that the Power will connect back to you. You will create a vibration in your mind that will be able to communicate to the Power we call God. You will then feel the Power of God.
Not everybody can experience the Power of God in a sunrise because they don’t have true faith. They don’t acknowledge that the sun is a creation of God and that its appearance as a beautiful red ball at dawn indicates the presence of that Power.
Those who believe in God actually feel the vibration from the Universal Power at times such as dusk or dawn. You can also experience God on a dark night when the moon shines amongst the stars. If you really want to experience God, you can do that anywhere! Some have experienced God when they are high up in an airplane and their flight zooms through the clouds. Some experience God in the mountains, while others experience God in the rivers and the oceans. Ask the divers who have dived deep into the ocean and swam close to the colorful and lively ocean floor. They will tell you how amazed they were at God’s creation as they swam amongst the corals and the colorful fish that came so close, as if to kiss them!
The beauty of God’s creations helps believers experience God all the time. If we don’t experience God when we see a beautiful bird or a loving dog wagging its tail, it only shows that we don’t acknowledge the Power of God. Thus, the faculty of our superconscious mind is shut off and the vibration from the Universal Power does not reach us.
To experience God and the vibrations that come from the Universal Power, we have to be in a “switched on” mode; tuning in to the frequency of faith, hope, enthusiasm, trust and belief. Sometimes we have to activate our frequency by patiently repeating the divine name. We have to aspire and wait for the signal, sometimes for days, weeks, months or even years!
Many people have experienced God; some have even felt the divine voice talking to them. If it is not a voice speaking to them, then coincidentally; a person, a circumstance or a situation gives them the impression that God exists. You can experience God only if you want to. It is not difficult, but sometimes it may seem impossible. You must make up your mind to experience God. You must decide to connect to the Power with full faith, hope, enthusiasm, trust and belief. Sometimes you experience God because you pray in the right way. There are people who pray for hours and days trying to experience God, but fail, because their mind is very distracted and they are unable to “catch” God’s frequency.
Experiencing God is magical! When you look at the sun, the moon, the stars, the birds, the animals and the flowers with the intention of experiencing God, you will find the entire nature filled with magic.
One may look at a beautiful rose and crush it, losing out the opportunity of experiencing God. But someone else can look at an ant crawling, with amazement and gratefulness, bowing down to the Power that made a dot-sized creature move without a battery or a charger! So, God exists. God exists everywhere! Alas! We do not program ourselves to experience God! It is thus that we say, “God is nowhere”. But the one who experiences God says “God is now–here!” The word NOWHERE becomes NOW HERE when you program yourself to aspire, believe and experience the Power of God.
Experience God !
How can you experience God? Where is God? Where does God live? How does God look like? The best way to experience God is to imagine God’s presence. Just as a kite flying high up in the sky; you can’t see the kite but the thread is in your hand and you can feel the presence of the kite in your hand. In the same way, even though you cannot see God, you can experience God.
The first step to experience God is to acknowledge God; to make God real in our life and to realiz
