The Transformative Power of God's Presence

So as long as we are doing, then the transformation, like I said, of the Antahkarana into the Atma, that we cannot make out except by the outpouring of love, outpouring of the virtues growing, our anger reducing, our humility growing. We notice things that we have to change about ourselves; otherwise, in pride, we never notice. We think we are perfect. Everybody is the hero of this movie. You see, in this room, each of you are better than everyone else in your mind. Right? Yeah. So, so these illogical fallacies get broken down when we spend time with God.

We realize—that's why I used to be very confused why the sages like Kabir Ji have feelings of unworthiness. Yeah. Why would he say there is no greater sinner than we? Why would he say that? You see, because when we spend time with God, we see our puniness and we want nothing more than to merge with Him. But also with regards to the world, we have no interest or ability left to judge a brother or sister. You see, you see, what will you tell a brother or sister, that you're a sinner, when we are still full of so much pride ourselves? But also what happens is the capacity to meet ourselves as we are grows when we learn to live in God's presence.

Otherwise, all of us are so frightened. If our true picture came up to us in the mirror, we would not be able to deal with it also because we've convinced ourselves that we are better, we know better, we are right mostly in our lives. And it cannot be that all seven billion are more right than everybody else. It's just impossible. Yet all of us live like that. In your life, aren't you more right than everyone else around you? Is that possible though? You see, so what is it? It's true about everyone else. You see, so this fallacy breaks the more time we spend in prayer. That's why great sages are able to look at their worldly expression in a very objective way with full humility.
