Where can we go to find God if we cannot see Him in our own hearts and in every living being.
The moment I have realized God sitting in the temple of every human body, the moment I stand in reverence before every human being and see God in him - that moment I am free from bondage, everything that binds vanishes, and I am free.
Was there ever a more horrible blasphemy than the statement that all the knowledge of God is confined to this or that book?
Hanuman, the devotee of Rama, said: When I identify myself with the body, O Lord, I am Thy creature, eternally separate from Thee. When I identify myself with the soul, I am a spark of that Divine Fire which Thou art. But when I identify myself with the Atman, I and Thou art one.
You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.
The more we come out and do good to others, the more our hearts will be purified, and God will be in them.
If faith in ourselves had been more extensively taught and practiced, I am sure a very large portion of the evils and miseries that we have would have vanished.
