________________ ** You see, he meditated for many years and the fruit of his meditation came in one small phrase, "to realize God in life." It is a very small phrase which you can memorize easily, but it is very, very difficult to realize it, to fulfill it, to experience and express it. You must ask yourself, "Do I see Life as God or Sin?''If you see God, then all things will be fulfilled. If you see other things and not God, then nothing is fulfilled because anything other than God is transient. Until now, day and night, we have been trying to get ephemeral things, forgetting the permanent. Once when I was a child, I was with my father and I caught sight of a beautiful toy camel. I started crying that I wanted this camel. My father asked, "Why do you want to spend so much money?" "I want it," I said, "I'm not going to come with you unless..." Ultimately, my father bought that camel. One day, about ten years later, we were talking together and I threw the camel away. "Now you are throwing it away," my father said, "but once you were crying for this camel." At that time it was my need to have the camel. In youth, we *God does not mean any outer force or creator. To me God means - G stands for generator of energy, one who lives in the flow of life and directs life's energy in a positive, creative way. O stands for organizer. A god is one who organizes or orders life, keeping a balance and feeling natural harmony in each moment. And D stands for destroyer, one who destroys inner enemies and weaknesses such as greed, fear, anger and hatred. Thus GOD is the person who fulfills life by living with vitality, balance and courage; he or she is a generator, organizer and destroyer.
