The Indwelling God: Not a Diluted Version
The divine presence within the heart is the ultimate reality, the Lord of the universe, and one's life should be dedicated to realizing and living in this profound truth, whether through faith or direct revelation.
Now, is this one who is in the form of the Holy Spirit some diluted God? Some watered-down version of the ultimate reality? What is the famous line? I'm waiting for the Vedanta to open her eye. Jiva Brahman, what is it? Hey, don't tell me you forgot. She's being humble now. So, the sages have told us that this and that are not different. They're not separate. So the one who lives in your heart is the Lord of the universe. Now your call is whether you will allow these to just remain as words in your life or whether you will start to live in that faith.
Now some of you may say, "I cannot live in that faith. I need to have that revelation first." Okay, fair enough. Are you devoting your life to that revelation first? That is important. If you had told me also that just have this faith that he is with you and live like that, I possibly wouldn't have been able to do it. I had to wait for that revelation to happen, you see? So then dedicate your life to this revelation because what other thing of importance can be there if you find everything else in the world and you miss this and you die? Is it all right? So devote as much of your time as possible to this project. Whether you do inquiry, whether you study the scripture, whether you remain empty, whether you pray deeply, whatever practice resonates with you, don't waste any more time.
Key Teachings
- The Holy Spirit or Atma residing in the heart is not a lesser or diluted form of God, but the Lord of the universe itself.
- The challenge is to move beyond intellectual understanding of this truth to living in faith of its reality.
- For those who struggle with immediate faith, the path is to dedicate one's life to experiencing this revelation directly.
- Prioritize this spiritual quest above all else, as missing this ultimate truth renders all worldly achievements meaningless.
