All are Entitled to Realize God
The Self remains always free of activity. When work comes in front of him, then due to pride of doer-ship, he becomes the doer of those actions. But as such the Self remains free of doer-ship. In waking, dream and deep sleep state - in all three states he remains as-is. When one's eyesight (drishti) is on it, then that itself is self-realization.
Pay great attention to this point. Being of the notion that when our inner-senses are purified, thereafter we will realize the essential truth (God) - this idea is a hope of something taking place in the future. God (Essential truth) is in all three states - past, present and future. There is not a place, time, thing, state, circumstance etc., where God is not present. In That Divinity, there is no space, time, thing etc. If that is the case, then tell me that in what space, time, object, situation etc. can we not know That Divinity (God) or realize Him? Neither is there an instrument in us, nor is there an instrument in Him, then what is the delay in realizing Him? If you want to know it through an instrument, then you will need to purify the instrument, and so far there has been no one who has realized that Truth, (God), through the means of an instrument.
The process and method by which That Divinity (God) can be known as mentioned in Vedanta, is firstly through discrimination, freedom from worldly desires, trance, self-knowledge and desire to be released from worldly bondage – these four spiritual practices can be accomplished. Thereafter, listening (shravan), reflecting (manan) and putting into practice (nididhyaasan) these three will have to take place. After purifying the objects that will know God, one goes into a deep trance (sabeej samaadhi). Till this stage, support is used of the inner-senses that are born of nature. When one entirely severs relationship with the inner senses (antahkaran), one undergoes "nirbeej" samaadhi, then realization will take place. This method is to go towards Divinity (God) through the inner-senses. But I say that it is not required to do all these things, you can become established in God (tattva, Truth) immediately, if you have a keen aspiration to attain Him. You are not undeserving and unworthy but your lack of keen want is the only obstacle in attaining Him. I do not regard anyone as being incapable in realizing God, only thing lacking is a keen longing to realize Him. If there is nothing lacking in your keen yearning to know the Truth, then you will surely realize God - this is a sure thing.
God (Divinity, Supreme Consciousness, Truth) is the same everywhere, at all times. We can know Him immediately. But we do not turn our eyes towards Him. As when you see any object with your eyes, you see light first because all the objects are visible within that light only. First and the foremost you see the light, and secondly you see all the objects, as everything is seen within the realm of that light. But due to not having our aim towards the light, we do not see that light first -
Jo jyotiyonkaa jyoti hai, sabase pratham jo bhasataa |
Avyay snaatan divya Deepak, sarva vishwa prakaashataa ||
God (Divinity), is seen first and the foremost. It is only within God's realm that everything else exists. God, the eternal celestial lamp the source of all the lights, is the illuminator of the entire universe, and all instruments. It is only through Him that all can be known. Therefore, it is my request to you all, that do not think that you are unworthy and undeserving to attain Him. You only have one thing lacking and that is a keen desire to know that Divinity (God).
Moreover, it is not at all about attaining Him in the future. You can obtain a thing in future by making efforts if it is not available at all times everywhere. But God pervades everywhere all the time and His existence is self-evident in all things, situations and circumstances. Therefore, there is no question of thinking to attain Him in future. He is self-evident existence in all places, time, objects, states, circumstances, etc. His existence is continuous and uninterrupted. All are eligible and entitled to realize That Divinity (God).
