From a Distance

December 13, 2019 Self-Revelation Church

Sometimes we look at life as if from a great distance. We view the objects of creation as separate from ourselves. And in the process, our journey becomes one of struggle and turmoil. We begin to feel distant from God, from others and ourselves.

When the heart struggles, there is feeling of separation, of absence, of abandonment. Does absence make the heart grow fonder? If our soul is of identical nature with the God of the universe, where can we go where God is not?

Salutation Unto Thee!

April 26, 2018 Self-Revelation Church

In the 11th chapter of the Bhagavad Gita are given the words “Salutation unto thee, a thousand times salutation unto thee, and again and again salutation unto thee.” These are the words uttered by Arjuna after witnessing the divine universal form of God in its entire multifarious splendor. His mind and devotion are not shattered into a thousand perceptions and appreciations by this experience but are inexorably drawn to God, the One who is the source and essence of all. This is the path of yoga, of oneness. In all the experiences of our pilgrimage through this vast munificent emporium of God’s manifestation let us always and forever more seek and find the essence of the One. Salutations unto thee, a thousand times salutation unto thee!
