He (God) Knows Us Really Well. And He Knows Us in Every Moment. He Knows Our Exact Intention

See, what helped me the most, and maybe helpful for all of us, is to know that He knows us really well. And He knows us in every moment. You see, He knows our exact intention. He knows when we are fooling ourselves, He knows when we are being sincere, He knows when we are struggling, when we are weak, when we are strong. He knows every moment. And He knows in the sense that we forget in a few minutes, but He knows. So that audience of one is really important, and you have access to what He knows in your heart.

That's why when I say that you know in your heart, your mind may rationalize and say, 'But I gave it my 100%.' And your heart may say, 'I gave it 100%,' but if your heart is saying, 'No, I kind of just, you know, didn't really give it my all, but I'm going to now.' Sometimes we are just scared to turn towards what we know in our heart. It seems a bit uncomfortable to visit that, but it is the most loving teacher in the world. The Atma is the most loving teacher in the world, in the universe. So it's very important that we really embark on this journey of the discipleship of the Atma.

It's really important. What many of you may be still trying to do is this spiritual journey without the Spirit, without the assistance, without the guidance of the Atma within, because your mind has made a rationalization for it saying, 'Oh, but I haven't found the Spirit.' You see? But have you not been told about how to? You've been told about how to. Even if the presence of Spirit is not palpable for you, how to be in the light of the Spirit, you have been told. But many times we continue to make spirituality into a personal strategy for happiness rather than a strategy for discipleship.

Don't spend this entire life without meeting your Atma within and being a disciple of the true Guru, which is the Satguru presence within. How to do that? We've been given by God's grace such simple ways. Just pray all the time. Don't waste a moment thinking, 'What about me? What about me? When me? Why me?' Don't waste time. And secondly, inquire and ask, 'Who am I?' But who am I, really? See, if it's sincere, it's very simple. The inquiry, in the sense the way to inquire, is very simple: 'Who am I?'

But it cannot be a hobby. It cannot be a part-time job. You can't say, 'My interest, one of my interests, is spirituality.' One of my interests is oxygen? No. You are not 'interested' in oxygen. It's literally life itself. Life itself is the presence of God.
