The Process of Life
Excerpt from THE PROCESS OF LIFE
GURURAJ ANANDA YOGI: There is only one God, one Divine energy and yet we call It by different names, don’t we? And it is the differentiation of names that creates so much confusion in the world. Once people start realising that there is only one God, and (that) we are led to that Divinity (and to) that Kingdom of heaven within us, (then) what more do you want? What greater wealth could you possess? What is greater than to come to that realization that you are Divine and (that) the Kingdom of Heaven is within? ‘Seek ye first the Kingdom of Heaven within and all else shall be added unto thee’; they tell you to believe this. I tell you, do not believe (this), because belief is a concept of the mind.
Go beyond the concepts of the mind and experience that Divinity within.
When you experience that Divinity within, you do not believe in God anymore; you become a living God. God is not to be believed in; God is to be lived. You start from belief; start from wherever you are. If you are in Vancouver, (you must) start from Vancouver to go to New York. You can’t go to New York without going through Vancouver – my plane flies from there. So, let me start (from) where I am, in belief. But then let this belief become faith, through (the) experience that you can have that you are forever there– not that little you (named) John, Jack, Gene or James. No, (that) you (that is) forever there; (in which) every cell of your body– millions of them– is permeated by that energy, by that Divinity. What more do you want in life? You are seeking for peace and happiness. We sit in our chapels, we sit in our churches, we sit in our mosques and synagogues and we bargain, oh God give me peace, oh God give me this, oh God give me that. (It) doesn’t work that way! Become It! It! It! I have said to you throughout this week that it is not He and neither (is it) She. It is a neutral force, that force of Divine energy that permeates everything, that flows through these hands of mine, that flows through this heart of mine, that flows through these weak limbs of mine; for He is ever there. And when you find THAT which is ever there, you will know what self-realization is, what God-realization is. But I am not going to be impatient. Lead thou me on kind light, one step at a time. Ah kindly light, that is the secret– not leading me on, but the kindly light is the secret. That light is forever kindly, but you do not want to recognize the kindliness of that which is so kind, (which is) keeping you breathing and alive, that is life. Otherwise you are not living, my children, you are not living; you’re just passing time. You are just existing. But when you feel the glow of the light within you, (then) Being is beingness. Beingness is to be. Most people in their lives imagine themselves to be what they imagine (they are), but they never are. They do not recognize that being which they are. Once the recognition of being comes into one’s life, the realisation comes that you just are. No pretenses, no wiles, no guiles, nothing; you just are. That is beingness; that is Being.
