Know that you are made out of God
There is nothing that exists in this world without God. Everything is created by God and God is in everything. But only we humans are blessed with the power to experience the power of God within.

When we are not able to do what we want to do, we start thinking where this God is. We start questioning whether this God will help us or just leave us to suffer. We sometimes feel that there is a power which is making some humans to live happily while making others suffer because God has decided that they should suffer. The truth is God wants everybody to live a good life. He has no intention to make a few suffer while others prosper. It’s just that we have not understood the process what we are supposed to do or we have not understood the process which God has created for us to live a happy life.
Find the right condition to feel God within
I have seen and heard many people coming to me to help them find God after having gone through various other spiritual paths and processes. Let me tell you that I am not here to help you find God. I am here to give you a condition, instruction or practice in which you maintain your state of physical and mental condition wherein God will be experienced by you automatically. If I just say this is God, I will be doing the same mistake of making you follow something or fall in the trap of not knowing God forever. The purpose of whatever I am teaching here or I want humanity to practice in the name of spirituality should make their life better in the present situation. And I am ok if this process is achieved without even realising God. What is required is not the knowledge about God. What is required is the way that we are going to live or a future which has to be far better than our present situation. Even after knowing God, if this is not achieved, it’s ok to not know that God at all. No other process can help you create this life and the ability to come out of an existing problem to have a great future.
Now the question is where this ‘God power’ is available. Is it only in temples? No. It is available everywhere. It is also available in the place where you think has the most negative energy. Some people feel the presence of ‘God power’ in a particular temple or a particular religious place. It’s not possible. It’s not the place which matters. It’s your condition that matters. If you are in the right condition, you can any time experience the beautiful state of higher consciousness or divine vibration in any place.
Connect with the divine power within
Let me explain it with a simple example. You use a mobile phone; you don’t have any knowledge about the way it works. You are unaware of the battery functions, the satellite, the signal strength, etc. To use a mobile phone, you need two things-the battery and the signal strength. It’s a simple way to understand the ‘God power’. Consider the situation when the signal is full but the battery is zero. Will you be able to make a call? Not possible. Now the battery is full but the signal is weak. Will you be able to use the phone? Again the answer is no. It says out of service, not out of power. All the power in you becomes useless when you don’t have signal with God. This is the reason I said God is available in every place, every time. It’s not about the place or the God that you believe. It’s about your condition. You can use the mobile phone even in the bathroom if there is full signal and charge. You are that battery. You have all the spiritual power. You can connect with God in the bathroom, bedroom and board room, or for that matter, in any place. With this understanding if you say God is available in the temple, yes, he is available in the temple also. But ask yourself whether you are available in that condition to make use of the godliness which is omnipresent. This condition has to be attained only by you and only through you and only for you.
Be genuinely selfish
Spirituality is all about self-awareness. The understanding of what is required to reach the next level without harming yourself and others is called spirituality. It’s not about the realisation of God; it’s about self-realisation. Even God insists to know you, to know God. Be selfish, but don’t be self-centred. There is nothing wrong in being selfish about wishing to have a good energy to live a successful life. Being self-centred is when you think that only you should be happy and successful in life. That is a sin. So if you want to know God, be selfish. When you are genuinely selfish, knowingly or unknowingly, you will become the source of success for you and for others. To achieve success, you don’t need to be a genius. You just need to be genuine in raising your energy wherein your battery and signal are maintained at the right level.
You are made out of God
This is where meditation helps you. Meditation will make you realise the fundamental truth that the creator of this universe is not separate from the creation. A carpenter makes a table out of wood. Now it’s no longer a piece of wood, but seen as a table. The carpenter is separate from the table. But when it comes to human being, God (the creator) is not separate from the creation. This conscious awareness about the creator within you is called meditation. So always tell yourself that you are not only made by God, but you are made out of God. In meditation, you experience the power of God within you. We are doing this not to change anything outside of you; it is to change what is happening within you.
As a human being, you may not have the power to change or to control what is happening outside of you but you have all the power to bring the change within you and this will bring the change you want to see in life.
Wishing you a life full of peace,success and abundance.
