To some of those who think that their spiritual growth is confused:
*******
1️⃣First we must realize that God is not outside us. He is not external.
2️⃣Next, we must feel His presence inside us.
3️⃣Thirdly, we must realize that He never leaves us.
4️⃣Fourth, we must realize He is beyond all needs.
------------
We pray to God with love. This love grows into worshipful devotion. This in turn grows into a flood that engulfs us. We would say that we can now see God. Basically the rule is to stop looking for him outside us. We are never separate from Him. He never leaves us.
At the same time we have not realized that He is inside us. We give Him forms since we are unable to conceive Him as formless and thus create a distance between Him and us. We start feeling😑 wrongly that we exist separately. The truth is we suffer all the more because we increase the distance between Him and us. If we want to avoid this, we must include the phrase “Enrum Yenakkul Irukkum Iraiva” or “God who is always within me”.
------------
It is the belief that this will become the truth which we in turn will realize. We must never say “We could not see God, our whole day of meditation was wasted!" ‘We meditated on a God who was outside us and not One who was inside us'. We must keep our heart♥️ pure, go inward, think 'God is where our heart is'. If we do this, without fail we shall enjoy God’ grace.
