Just Plug Into God

 “ God has been seeing through my eyes, has been hearing through my ears. It was His breath that came through my breathing, His impulse which I felt, and therefore I know that this body which I had thought to be my own is really the true temple of God. Not knowing that God experiences this life through man, I have been seeking for Him somewhere else, in some person aloof and apart from the world, whereas all the time He is in me. 

When a person turns for guidance to the inner Being, then all light and all knowledge are his for his guidance. "But," people say, "how can we attach ourselves with the inner Being, so as to have that guidance?" When the mind is fixed upon anything, then the person becomes linked to that, a current is established between him and it. It may be called the guidance of God or the guidance of the Self. If we look within, God is nearer to us than our mind and our body, because, as is said in the Bible, He is that life in which we live and move and have our being.” Hazrat Inayat Khan   

Listen: this is the great shortcut, the direct connection to the divine.

Just turn your mind inwards, dive deep and plug yourself into God.

It is that simple- like charging your phone.

Do it now and taste that blissful, loving peace that is beyond all understanding.

The very core of your being, the life-force inside you, the One that breathes in you, sees through your eyes, thinks through your mind, laughs through your joy, this is the One that you have been searching for everywhere.

The innermost sanctum, the holy of holies, the fountain of immortality is right here in the center of your own chest. Could anything be closer?

Yes, its true – let the penny finally drop:

God dwells within you as you .

This is the greatest miracle, the source of all wonder and wisdom, the pure magic that is shining in your soul in this very moment. Just plug right in!

The infinite current of grace is ever flowing, always available, for free!

Recharge your being with your true nature, come home to who you really are, who you always were and always will be.

Just connect with Him every day: all it takes is your attention and your faith.

Once you feel that connection, nothing else will ever satisfy you.

The more you find the divine in yourself, the more you will see it everywhere.

You will discover that the flow of life is naturally perfect, exactly the way it's meant to be.

With the  right eyes, all creation is seen as sacred and beautiful and good.

This is all it takes to experience the kingdom of heaven right here and now:

Just plug into God.

All will be well.

The Lesson

 

“Enlightenment is here and now: just rend the veil and you will be It. Do not wait for death -after death, no change happens; you merely end up in an apartment in the City of Death with the ghosts of your memories and the baggage of your unfulfilled desires.” From Lightsongs, the book.

This lesson of life, how long does it take to learn?

In blind obedience, I  followed the dictates of evolution.

For a thousand lifetimes, like a well-trained animal, I jumped through the hoops of destiny.

Again and again, I have fallen under the spell of separation, the great illusion.

Again and again, I have forgotten who I really am.

This time around, I hoped it would be different.

For over three score years, I  practiced my sadhana.

I read the sacred texts, chanted all the mantras, spent so much time on rituals and prayer.

I performed asanas and pranayamas, pujas and fasts, retreats and meditations and more.

Was it all for nothing?

In the last winter of my old age, will I still be searching for that eternal spring?

When death claims me, will I have to go through yet another lifetime to understand it all?

Enough is enough.

O merciful Gurudev, dispell my ignorance now, before this body dies!

Save me from this nightmare of endless death and rebirth.

Before the phantom mind drags me off again, absorb me forever in your peace.

Let the blazing sun of your presence in my Heart burn all the fog away.

At long last, O thou ocean of Grace, thou Rock of Ages, set me free!

“ Do not wander outside, eating the scorching sand of worldly pleasures, which are non-Self; come home to the Heart where peace is shining as a vast, everlasting, cool shade and enjoy the feast of the bliss of Self. Having annihilated the delusive mind which always dwells upon worldly things, having killed the restless ego, and having completely erased the vasanas, shine as Shiva, the pure Consciousness Itself.” Sri Ramana Maharishi.
