What is God? I define God as taking time to meditate and what you find is God in you. Each letter in God, G-O-D, represents a specific trait. First you experience that certain Generating energy, the "G" of God. That energy is not outside; it is within. G is the generator, the creator of electricity. Say, “This is in me. I am life. I am consciousness. I am sentient energy." I am awareness but my awareness is clouded because of desires, greed, all kinds of fanatic ideas. What I have to do is uncover, I have to bring out the quality from inside. It is a diamond with its radiance within. As we go on polishing the diamond, the radiance comes out. But it is a rough diamond. What is required is the art of polishing. And when we break our ego and we go on polishing, we find the radiance: insight, intuition, premonition. You get many, many insights and you will be surprised by your reservoir of knowledge. A reservoir of knowledge within!
Discovery of Self We hardly take time to sit and listen and say, "Who are you, my dear?” The whisper comes so gently, so still that you have to become completely calm. If there is the noise of demands, we do not hear because of demands: some want money, some want power, some want position, and when there is a demand, our clarity is colored and covered. We become sure when we become pure. And purity comes to us when we come closer to ourselves, when we just sit and listen and say, "I have talked to you but now you talk to me.” And there is an art of listening. Just listen! And when we become aware, we see how our demands are overwhelming. We think we need so many things but we really don't know what we need. We are collecting; we are accumulating; but we don't know when we will have the time to enjoy them. And in this rat race, we are lost. We cannot find our Self. Find somewhere to just sit and watch what is going on inside. This is a beautiful way to live. All are on a sojourn. So, in meditation we are experiencing a sojourn and we ask whether "my trip in life is a trip of orderliness, light, love, peace and joy."
Time for Self My friends, who is preventing us from making our life rich? No one except ourself. We are in our own way; we are in our own hurdles, obstacles. Why? We have to break walls. Meditation means that we take time to inquire and experience these three words: Who Is This? I am the generator. I am energy. Whatsoever happens in the world happens because of this dynamic energy. You can do anything. This the energy Mahavira realized and he brought us to
