Sri Aakassdeep`s message of the day :
My dear friend, all the religions, either from the east or the west, they believe, God is everywhere. God is close to everybody. We are all God`s creation. But, it is so ironic, after believing this, still they keep on building temples, mosques, churches and they make a system, every week and in some religions every day, they have to go there to pray. Those places, they call this, the place of God. But I do not understand one thing, if God is omnipresent, omnisense, then why those places will be places of God? The whole earth, is belonging to God, why earth? The whole universe and everything in this universe belongs to God. I know, it is a proverb, all the roads go towards the Rome, but I do not know, is it true or not, but one thing is sure, all the roads going towards God. There is no way, one can miss God. How one can miss God? When God is everywhere? There is an old story, one day, God wanted to play hide and seek with humans, so he asked all the angels, where to hide, so human cannot catch him. So some angels told, you go and hide on the top of Mount Everest, people cannot go there, then God said: "No, one day people will reach to there." Then another angel suggested, you hide in the moon, then God said: “No, one day humans will reach to the moon, too.”Then an old angel smiled and said: "You hide inside human`s heart and if it is a seek and find game, then humans will search everywhere, but they will never search inside themselves.” God smiled and answered: “Good idea”. So, God hide inside human heart. From that day, when human search God outside, they search and search and search and find nowhere, but when one stops searching, rather looking inside his heart, immediately they catch God. All the Buddhas, all the enlightened people, are the witness of that truth. Our heart is the temple of God. In Sufism it is said, if you break an innocent heart, you break the temple of God. God is so loving, he dwells within everybody`s heart. But a group of people, for their economical and political interests, they created small, small places made of bricks and called those places, house of God. By exploiting innocent peoples for to gain political power and exploit them and collect money, these people are so cruel, they snatch money from the poorest of the poor. In the name of God, these people are doing business. Jesus Christ went on the cross, because he protested for this. Now, in the churches they say, Jesus Christ sacrificed his life for humans sin, but they do not say, what was that sin. Because, when they will say, Jesus Christ went to the temple and when he saw at the entrance of the temple all the people are sitting and doing the money exchanges and sucking the money from poor people, who love God and want to show their love and respect to God, but without paying money to them, they are not allowed to enter the temple. Jesus Christ could not take this cruelty and that was the human sin, they created, made him protest against this sin and he had to give his life for to make people free from this greed for money. This is the sin, man were committing at the time of Jesus Christ. But it is so unfortunate, did that things stopped? No. It just changed into a new shape. Still, you will see, same thing is going on in a different form. Many enlightened people came, give their life, give their blood, but this sin is going on and on. As long lust, greed, ego, will make people unconscious and ignorant, they will never feel God in their heart. When they will know, the God is inside their heart, then they will become conscious, before they will do any of this cruel acts against humanity. Another interesting thing is, till today, nobody became enlightened in the church, temple or mosque. Jesus Christ became enlightened, beside the Jordan river, Mohamed and Moses became enlightened in the mountain. Buddha became enlightened under a tree. Mahavira became enlightened in the forest. Lao Tzu became enlightened beside a waterfall, Sufis always pray under the sky, then why all this people are constantly insisting on those places made of bricks are places of God? I do not understand, if God is only there, then outside those places, if people do some wrong things, God should not know those things. Because God is staying inside those houses. He only knows, what is happening in those places. Unaware, if anything happens outside those places, but it looks very childish. Isn`t it? God is aware about every action. Not only action, he is even aware of all thoughts and feelings which are happening to everybody of his existence. Sufis say, God is closer then your breath. That`s why, God is aware about your every breath. Because God loves you. When you love, how one can be unaware about his beloved? When one feels God in his heart, then he sees his reflection everywhere. In the smile of a flower, in the dance of a river, in the shiny of the sun, in the vastness of the sky. All the true lovers of God, they always experience, God is dwelling in their heart. When Meera felt that, she danced on the road of India and she sang the glory of God and danced with it. Thousands of years have passed, when someone feels Krishna in his heart, he listen that song of eternity, the flute of Krishna. Guru Nanak said, :”Ek omkar satnam” means, all is in one, one are in all. One name reflects in hundred names. In all the teachings of Guru Nanak, he sings and expresses the glory and his love, he felt in the presence of God in his heart. Kabir said, when one felt God in his heart, it is like a drop of water dissolving in the ocean and the drop of ocean becomes the ocean. Let you always consider yourself as if the Holy One dwells within you.
Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti.
