Thou and Thou Alone

In accepting the fact that everything is God, no holy book is to be studied, no meditation is to be practiced, nothing is to be contemplated, no hearing, thinking or profound meditation is required, no eyes are to be closed, no ears are to be closed, no nose is to be pressed. There is no need to go to the forest, to enter into a cave and to retire for the Himalaya ! We have simply to merge our existence with God without keeping it separate. Only "Thou" and ""Thine" are to be accepted leaving aside "I" and "Mine". Then there would remain no "Thine", but only "Thou and Thou" would remain. Only God would remain in the place of "I" also.
It is a principle that the thing that is present at all times, for its attainment, one does not have to have some expectation from the future is and the thing which is present everywhere, its attainment is not from doing some actions or with some objects. God, Who is attainable by going somewhere, is existent entirely and absolutely where we are. There is no need of going anywhere or changing anything, Only one's outlook (of the mind) needs to change. True aspiration and ardent longing for His attainment should be there to attain Him. He is accessible only by ardent desire. God can be attained simply by desiring only God. He who desires to only attain God, attains Him instantly. There is delay for him who bears delay for want of true and ardent desire.
There is a way, a path to attain a thing which is far away. There is no path to attain a thing which is omnipresent. It is achieved only by desiring it. Only God and nothing else is accessible by desire. God is unique and hence the desire for Him also should be unique. The world can't be achieved only by desiring it. It is achieved by "doing" , while God is achieved by "not doing". The aspirant must have internal (true) desire for God. God is not accessible, if the world is felt pretty and there is desire for it. One who feels the thirst for water inwardly, is on the look- out for water. Similarly, one who feels the thirst for the world would see the world and one who inwardly feels thirst for God, sees God. If there is no thirst, the thing is not perceived at all even though it is right in front. The world disappears if there is the thirst for God and God disappears if there is the thirst for the world. He who has the inner thirst for the world creates the world - "yayedam dhaaryate jagat" (Gita 7/5) - By which the whole universe is sustained" (Gita 7/5) and one who inwardly possesses the thirst for God, seeks out God - "tatah padam tatparimaargitavyam" (Gita 15/4) "Then one should diligently seek that Supreme State (i.e. God) - (Gita 15/4). On account of the thirst for the world, like a mirage it appears to exist though it does not exist and God is being perceived when there is thirst for God even though He does not appear. When the thirst for God is aroused, no thought of the past comes to his mind, he does not have hope for the future and remains restless without attaining God at present. (to be continued)
