To want Him
means to devote oneself sincerely,
to develop this pure Love that is already there, just to let
it out and
let it spread around. With this devotion and pure Love, one will
realise that the Divine is not outside, but it is inside, in this
microcosmic form of the Universe that He has implanted in us. When a yogi
looks inside of himself, he doesn’t see in the same way that human
beings see things, because human beings want to see many
things. How many human beings want to see the Ultimate within
them? If you haven’t found the Ultimate inside of you, how would you
find the Ultimate outside? How would you find it in all His
Creation? We say God pervades everything but how many people
achieve this state? Very few! Like in the Gita, it said “Out of a million,
only few will attain Him.” Through the
Divine Names, which have been given, go inside. Utilise the
Cosmic Names of God and attain Him. That’s what Shiva teaches us.
That’s what all the Deities, if you analyse them properly, teach us:
to realise this oneness with the Creator. We have to take time and be
patient. Not in one month of spiritual practice will you attain
the Divine, not even in one year! If you read the Vedas, if you read
the Upanishads, you will see that it took yogis hundreds of years to
attain the Divine, but it was that age. So it’s a lucky age now,
because just by chanting the Divine Names you can attain Him. It’s
so simple, no? You know
there is a thing called dying while you are still alive, which
means samadhi. We will do a meditation
and, if you do it properly,
you can go into Samadhi. It doesn’t mean that you will die. No,
you will come back again.
