The Master Said .... 19- Swami Sivananda

20/01/2017.

1.
People have begun to ask: “Where is God?”

He is everywhere.

It is absurd to ask for proof of the existence of God.

Who created the mind with its several faculties?

Who pumps blood in your heart?

Who causes the peristaltic movements?

He is the All-pervading Essence.

He is hidden in all these things, like oil in the sesame seed, like butter in milk, like electricity in the wires.

God is Swatah-Siddha.

The mother says: “Here is your father”—you don’t ask her for further proof.

Similarly, you will have to repose faith in the words of the scriptures and the sages.

God is everywhere; He is in the Light, in the Sun, in the Moon, in the Stars, in every speck of creation.

2.
    He who is sincere, who has aspiration, he will realise God.

Every man is selfish.

Therefore, Shastras say that you must do charity.

By charity you purify yourself and you recognise the all-pervading Atman.

You grow in unity and oneness.

Charity gives rise to knowledge of the oneness, the unity of Consciousness.
