Chapter 13
How to realize the presence of God in the heart?
- A striver, should realize the difference between, the real and the unreal. He should know, that there are different states, such as wakefulness, sleep, and sound sleep; childhood,youth and old age, but he himself remains, the same. Pleasant and painful, favourable and unfavourable circumstances, appear and disappear, but he remains the same. There is contact, with things, persons etc., and then there is separation, from these, but he remains the same. It means that he is different from, all of them. By knowing this truth in reality, he will realize the presence of God in his heart, because he himself, being a fraction of the Lord, has identity with Him.
- As a starving person, becomes uneasy without food and a thirsty man without water, a striver, should become uneasy for God-realization. Then, he will realize that He is seated in his heart. By this realization, he will understand that God is all-pervading. This is true realization.
