DIVINITY AND LOVE FOR GOD

1. In every action in daily life, manifest your love. Divinity will emerge from that love. This is the easiest path to God realisation. But, why are people not taking it ? This is because they are obsessed with misconceptions relating to the means of experiencing God. they regard God as some remote entity attainable only by ardous spiritual practices. God is everywhere. There is no need to search for God. All that we see are the manifestation of the Divine. All the human beings we see are the forms of the Divine. Correct your defective vision and you will experience God in all things.
2. When you attain the proximity of God and become recipient of HIS love, you become GOD yourself. This is true research. Hence, you need not undertake any other practice to attain divinity. You should develop only the feelings of love in you. This will transform you into a divine being.
3. You should have faith that everything you see in this world is an aspect of divinity. There is nothing else other than this. Only ONE exists in this world and there is no second. We are unable to understand this truth and suffer due to many misconceptions. We are prepared to believe what others write in their books, but no one is prepared to have faith in his own self. People have all types of confidence except self-confidence. If only we have self-confidence, we can achieve everything; there is nothing in this world that we can not accomplish.
4. We must always have good thoughts. Then only can mind have equanimity. It is just a question of the discipline of the mind, difficult in the beginning, but, once mastered, capable of conquering all troubles and worries. An unruffled mind is very necessary for every asprirant who is marching forward; it is one of his beneficial qualities. Such a mind gives real strength and happiness. Strive to gain it, though you may fail even in seven attempts. You are sure to succeed in the eighth, if you refuse to be despirited.
5. It is essential to keep our body sacred. In order to keep it sacred, we should chant the Divine Name. We should perform meditation to make our mind sacred. Do chanting with meditation and meditation with chanting the divine name. Love should be undercurrent of both chanting and meditation. We hold a cymbal in one hand and another in the other hand. Sound is produced only when both are brought together. In the same way, chating and meditation when in unison, we can enter into the state of "non-dual state of Supreme Conciousness" which is our true state.
