An extract from the book
“Glimpses of the Divine Vision” by Swami Ramdas – Section “God”
·
Be conscious always that the God that you
pray to is within you and everywhere about you. His protection and grace are
there ever for you. Be always aware that He is guiding you from within.
·
True, God’s power is manifest everywhere. Prakriti
is He in His universal revelation. His light and glory fill all things. To
surrender to Him and realize His unthinkable and inexpressible greatness is to
attain immortality and bliss. Where are bondage and pain for the soul that has
tuned itself with this magnificent Life or Truth? The supreme Lord is the very
breath of your breath. You are ever His, He and you are not different. All
glory be to Him!
·
The world is a grand display of the Lord’s
lila. In fact each one of you, playing an individual part in it, is Himself in
His self-expression. In the light of this knowledge and vision, you are all
eternally one; the appearance of diversity belongs only to the surface.
·
The whole universe is indeed a blissful
manifestation of Sri Ram. Every form in it is a wave and movement of His
infinite love. Diversity and discord are unreal-offsprings of a mind deluded by
ignorance. Unity and harmony are the true attributes of that Truth, in whom
God, universe and man are one. There is no existence but He. He is eternal
truth, love, power, light and bliss. What words can describe Him, who
transcends all speech and thought!
·
Where is your most loving Divine Mother and
Master? Oh-what joy it is to be conscious that this Supreme Being is ever
enthroned in your heart. You eternally dwell in Him and He lives in you
eternally. Sri Ram fills and permeates the entire universe. Every particle,
every atom, is thrilling with divine music. The glow of His splendour illumines
all. He is the inexhaustible spring of delight, peace and bliss. He is the
infinite fountain of love and compassion. All glory to Him!
