God lives within you

When we pray we look for God some where in the sky. It is a common saying that He is looking at you that ever you do good or bad deeds. He keeps record of all your deeds. We develop an opinion that God must be in somewhere in the cosmos or on some other planet along with other God and Goddess. Our search in the universe might be guided by the wish of man to find the existence of God. But the saints declare on the basis of their knowledge and experience that the God is not somewhere outside our self. He is within our self. Our journey to spirituality will start by knowing this fact that He is with in us. There is need to find him. There is no need to find him in forests, mountain caves or to mosques, churches and temples. Christ explains in the Bible that “The Kingdom of God is within you.” The Persian Saint Bulleh Shah, says:

“The Lord of all, O Bulleh,
From us in not apart.
There is nothing that is not of His essence:
But the Seeing Eye is not there,
And that is why the pangs of separation
Must perforce be borne.”


God is within us but how to find him? How to feel him? We can find and feel him with the grace of the Master (Guru).
