It
is said, “If you take a bath in the Ganges, or
other holy rivers, you
get purified of one birth”. But, when you are bathed in the divine
name, whatever name, whatever deity you feel close with – the
name of Jesus, Muhammad, Rama, Krishna, Devi
-, if you get bathed
in that divine name, you are released from many births. Misery
is removed just by chanting the divine name. Liberation is
granted just by realising the connection that you have with the Divine
within you. This is where Kriya comes
from. When
you do Kriya,
what you experience is through sound within your
body, which, later on, gradually, will reveal itself as light also. Very
often, when we talk about the spirit, when we talk about the atma,
we have an image of a light. Where does this light reside? It resides
within our Self. So
in all our spiritual practice, we need to do that only, even if we take
many lives, we will attain the lotus feet of the Lord. When praying,
what do we pray for? We pray, we ask, and the Divine is not
deaf. The Divine always hears the prayer of everybody. If He can
hear even the small anklets on the feet of an ant, of course, He can
hear our prayer also. But very often we expect, if we pray, that we
have to have it very quickly. We are not patient. But the Lord has
created us. He knows what is best for us, no? So, why don´t we trust
Him? Why don`t we trust in His will? Christ has said, “Let Thy will
be done, not my will be done”. This is a great statement that He Himself,
being part of the Divine, teaches us to be patient and trust in
the will of God. Of
the whole of our search, the basis, actually, is trust. To trust what?
To trust in whom? To trust in God. But yet, some will say, “I
don`t know Him”. But it doesn`t matter; even if we don`t know Him,
know that He knows us. When we start trusting in ourselves, trusting
in the inner voice, trusting in the light within us, trusting in
the inner sound inside of us, then He will start to reveal Himself.
