See With the Eyes of Your Heart – God Is Here

So, and we can just look deeply at this aspect. So I've said, we've been saying in Satsang that if Krishna was sitting in front of you, if Jesus was sitting in front of you, if some of the prophets were sitting in front of you, if Ram was sitting in front of you, okay, then what would you be doing? Your entire focus would be on Him. You'd want to serve Him. You'd want to love Him, you see, with all your might, with all your heart, if He was in front of us. You see?

Now, faith is that which teaches us to rely on that which is not visible to our senses but known in our heart more than that which is visible in front of us. You see? So if you let go of your mind for a moment, then these words will ring true for you: that God is right here. His presence is right here within yourself. He is—His presence is accessible to us. That one who came in the form of Ram, Krishna, Jesus is here with us.

So the visible will try to conclude that there is no such thing, but the intuitive, the heartfelt, is showing you something else. So true faith, true spirituality, is to rely on what your intuitive insight, what your Atma Gyan—inner self-knowledge—is showing you, rather than to rely on what the world is pointing to.

So sometimes we make a mistake of confusing this intuitive insight with the experiences that may come as byproducts of it. You see? So we may say that, 'Oh, I feel so much, so nice and so joyful and so peaceful,' and all these will come as byproducts. But we must not attach to that which is visible so much. We must rely only on our intuitive insight which makes known that which is beyond visibility. You see? Beyond what can be touched, felt, smelled, looked at, tasted.
