We are not living the way God has designed humans to live their lives. We are living unnaturally. That's why we have become fake, false. And that's the very reason that we are suffering.
We must understand, that what is this game?
A newly born child, he remains absorbed in feeling the Divine within and with closed eyes, seeing the divine light of different colors and celestial music. He remains absorbed in that.
And when he comes out of that, he starts kicking with his feet and arms and laughing. So what does he do? He plays with himself. That consciousness in that child plays in itself because consciousness is alive.
The same way the ocean plays with itself. And while playing with itself, the bubbles, the foam, the waves are created. Exactly the same way God plays with Himself.
God loves Himself. Love always creates relationship. God loves himself. We too would love ourselves as we start moving closer to God. And God loves Himself. He keeps playing and while playing, He has created all this universe. Just like the ocean creates and then demolishes. God too, the same thing.
The nature of life is to create and destroy, too. Create, sustain and destroy. The same thing we are doing. We are creating, too. We are creating homes, jobs, this and that. And some are taken off the board, some new things are added.
We are the divine lights. And the nature of the divine light is to create, is to create, sustain and destroy. Create. That's why God's name is creator.
And because we are separated from ourselves, we have created an illusionary world of our own, our little family, friends, coworkers, and few more.
So the right way of living life is the path on which we meet ourselves and recognize who we are. And while living outside, living in this world, living out of our minds, can we ever meet ourselves?
The most beautiful gift, human body, human consciousness. But you're living it the wrong ways, damaging yourself. Don't know at all, you don't even know who you are. So what is the point in doing all this?
So we must go home. The outer life is not going to stop, but the outer life is going to change.
The right way of living life. And what's that? Living life out of love and humility. That we will become through meditation.
Through meditation, we come home and when we come within and recognize that “I'm the divine light”, instantly it becomes clear to us that “I am immortal.” What a way, “path of love”! This way of living life is the way of love.
Our mind will try every possible way to avoid entering the inner world. He will put the blame on others for not being able to go into the inner world. It would use our bodies as victims that “If I sit for a long time, then my body starts feeling weak” and all that…
When we don't live our lives correctly by following the mind only, then our body becomes angry with us. It falls sick. It becomes tense, worried, because of the mind.
Whenever we have a thought to do something which is not right, immediately we feel fear within. That is God's way of telling us, "Don't do this. Don't do this."
This is His way of telling by creating fear in us. And if we are going on the right direction, he makes us feel happy. God many times said ‘No’ to us, "Don't, don't." But the mind did not listen.
The sun rises and sets in stillness, in calmness, quietness while remaining tranquil, not in any hurry. Not in any hurry to rise or not in any hurry to set. That's our nature. Meditation and our daily, weekly commitment brings that stillness in us.
And as we start becoming more and more still, God keeps moving towards us closer and closer.
This is the path of love, to create a loving relationship with God.
