Betting Your Life on God's Presence

So now, if this is true, even if it sounds very absurd—there's some absurd people like me who make this kind of claim that there is a greater reality and we can come to that greater reality by first coming to God's presence within us—then how much of your life are you willing to bet on this? And that is why this kind of satsang is not for everyone. Because if you say to me, even if your hands are trembling and you say to me, 'I want to give up my whole life for God, for this promise of spirituality that I can break the cycle of birth and death and be with Him, or for the truth of myself, who I really am. I'm willing to bet my life on it and I will focus my intention purely on Him or that truth. Please, can we walk together on this path?'

So for those who really have this longing deeply in their heart, and there may be some fear about it, there may be some trepidation—and if there isn't any, then you're not maybe fully understanding the scope of this project. If it is not seeming at least a bit risky, then maybe what is on offer and what is the ask, both are being misunderstood somewhere. And that being willing to bet our life on it is a question of faith. Because God will always be a question of faith. Not be a question of belief, but faith. There is something within all of us which points us to a greater reality, yes or no? Is there anyone who feels like, 'No, this is it'? Hardly anyone. Because even the atheists, like when I was one, when somebody would leave the body I would say, 'May they rest in peace.' Who was I wishing? Who was I blessing? So even the atheists are not that atheist mostly, who don't say 'rest in peace' to those who no longer seem to inhabit a body.
