Saint Tulsidas


Concentration is a function of the mind. People go to movies and the theatre. They travel far for sightseeing. They say, “Oh, I had a wonderful time today! I feel very happy!” Why? Because when the mind is concentrated we feel happy. However, the saints have always shown the inner, not the outer road to bliss. The living God is within you. Direct your love to the inner light. This divine light is shinning of its own accord within all of you, but without Knowledge you don’t know it, because it doesn’t announce it own presence. Saint Tulsidas said that even the impossible, such as extracting oil from sand or butter from water, may become possible, but without Knowledge no one can cross the ocean of mortality. So you must search for this Knowledge. It can be found. Don’t think that it can’t. If it couldn’t be had, then all the scriptures would be false. Lord Krishna told Arjuna, “I am always in the world.” If God is not omnipresent, how did He appear to rescue Draupadi? Prahlad’s father intended to tie him to a red-hot iron pillar. Prahlad prayed to the Lord for rescue. At that very moment the column burst open and the Lord appeared as the Narsingh Avatar-half lion and half man. The saints say that God dwells within very particle of the universe.
