God has no particular form. Brahma, Vishnu, Maheswara are not different from each other. God manifests in the form His devotees contemplate upon. If a woman considers her husband as God, she can realise God in him. God is present in every human being (Daivam manusha rupena). All are embodiments of the Divine. So to answer the question, “Where is God?”, “God is everywhere.” The Soul (Atma) that is present in you in the form of consciousness is present everywhere and in everyone. Hence do not search for the omnipresent God! Close your eyes and contemplate on the form of God that you like the most. God will manifest before you in that very form. Never think that God is present at one particular place or that distant place only! He is omnipresent everywhere, at all times, and permeates every atom of the universe. Make it your objective in this life to experience that Sweet Lord within yourself!

People try to obtain peace by accumulating authority and wealth, which gives them power over others and the ability to command conveniences and comforts which will confer peace. But they quickly realise that both these paths are beset with fear, and the peace that one secures is liable to quick and violent extinction. How then can you achieve peace? Only through Love! Peace is the fruit of the tree of life; without it, the tree is a barren stump with zero value. The fruit is encased within a bitter skin, so that the sweet juice may be preserved and guarded; you must remove the skin to taste its sweetness and to strengthen yourself. The thick rind is symbolic of the six evil passions that encase everyone’s loving heart: lust, anger, greed, attachment, pride and hate. Those who succeed in removing the rind and contact the sweetness within through hard and consistent discipline attain the peace that is everlasting and unchanging.

Why must you compete and quarrel with one another? Nothing in this world can last as such for long. Lord Buddha diagnosed this correctly and declared, “All is sorrow, all is transient, all are but temporary phenomenon of ephemeral characteristics.” Why should you be so animated by these finite objects and petty things? Strive to gain the eternal, the infinite, the universal. One day, you have to give up the body that you have so carefully fed and fostered. How long can you keep all that you have earned and possessed with pride? Trivial thoughts and desires award only sorrow; holy thoughts and desires reward you with divine peace. Therefore cultivate good and beneficial feelings and desires. Keep away from bad company and bad thoughts. Realise the holy purpose of life through pure thoughts and words, and selfless service to your fellow-beings.

The Nature around us and with us is the vesture of God, presenting ample evidences of His beauty, goodness, wisdom and power, wherever we look. But the art of recognising Him is strange to us and so we deny Him and live in darkness. We have all around us in the atmosphere the music emanating from various broadcasting stations, but they do not assail your ear at any time. You are not aware of any station. But if you have a receiver, and if you tune it to the correct wavelength, you can hear the broadcast from any particular station; if you fail to tune it correctly, you will get only nuisance instead of news! Similarly the Lord is everywhere – above, around, below and beside you. For recognising Him, you require not a yantra (machine) but a mantra (mystical potent formula). Dhyana (meditation) is tuning to the exact location of the station, love is the tuning fork. Tune in, realise the Divine and enjoy the bliss He confers!

Consider this loudspeaker which has the power to broadcast sound. Someone must have produced it, isn’t it? Who could have created it? Someone with the knowledge and skill to produce such a device. They may not be visible to you, but they exist, perhaps in Germany or Switzerland or Japan. Similarly for everything you enjoy in daily life, be it the television or the watch or any other gadget, there is a creator. But we are also seeing objects which are beyond human capacity. The sky, the stars that twinkle, the Sun and the Moon which illumine the world! Can any ordinary person create these? The supreme power which has the capacity to create such marvellous things has been described by the Vedas as Aprameya, which means, One who is beyond all proofs and all limitations. God cannot be described in words. Your primary objective must be to seek to understand this Infinite Power.

Intelligence is a double-edged sword. It can cut chains and liberate you; it can cause fatal wounds and kill. Hence the great Gayatri Mantra prays to God to preside over the intelligence and render it beneficial to individuals and society. The education of the emotions and the control of passions are both part of Yoga, the spiritual discipline that purifies the intelligence. To penetrate the thick fog that ignorance spreads over Reality, intelligence must be built on the basis of virtues. When action (Karma) is done as dedication and Upasana(worship) is done as essential for very life, the fog of intelligence melts and disappears revealing the truth. Karma, when engaged in as dedicated to God, loses its evil effects for the doer leaving the consequence to God! Moreover, as every act is considered as an act of worship, it is done to the best of one’s ability transmuting mundane Karma into worship.
