Divine Heart We know that all human beings have problems in life. There is nobody who is free from problems. But did you know that God has a big problem? Let me tell you a story. After long, long sleep, God woke up and he decided to create this Universe! And there was a Creation, this beautiful Universe consisting of billions and billions of stars, planets and galaxies, sky, air, water, sun, sea, forest, fish, amphibians, reptiles, tortoise etc. Various kinds of animals, and a variety of birds were created. What a beautiful Creation came into existence!!! Despite this beautiful Creation, God was not happy and felt something was missing. He felt that somebody is required to appreciate this Creation, to experience and praise this beautiful Creation. There was no fun in the Lord sitting alone and watching this whole Creation. So, the Lord had a brain wave. He decided to create a human being, an exact replica of the Lord. Thus, a human being was born. This human being opened his eyes, saw a beautiful Creation and instead of appreciating the Creation, this human being started complaining. Human being constantly kept complaining to the Lord, ‘this is missing, that is missing, you didnt give me this and you didnt give me that.’ The Lord tried to fulfill all their desires. However, human being’s list of complaints never reduced instead it kept on growing. Back in those days, human beings had a direct connection with the Lord. So, everyday they used to go to the Lord with their long list of complaints. The Lord got fed up with their complaints and He wanted to escape from human beings, and decided to find a hiding place. He went deep inside the sea and hid himself there. Human being was very smart and intelligent, he created a submarine! He stood in front of the Lord and started complaining again, ‘My Lord! So many things are missing in your Creation.’ That was the big trouble for the Lord! Then God went and hid in the moon. Human beings didnt spare him there as well! He created a rocket and landed on the moon! Lord was troubled again! The Lord kept pondering on how to escape from this human being who is always complaining and never appreciates my Creation! Suddenly, Lord had an excellent idea! He found a place, where human being could never find him. You know that place! That place is the heart of the human being! Lord hid himself in the heart of every human being, indeed, a very difficult place to find. Human beings eyes are always directed outward, never inwards. From that day onwards human being has been searching for the Lord or God. God was missing from the heaven. Human being has searched in all possible places like temples, mosques, churches, forests, monasteries, atop Himalayas and several holy places. God was not to be found anywhere. The only place the Lord can be found is in the heart of human being and that is the last place where human beings search for the Lord. God resides in the form of peace, love and compassion in the heart of every living being! If only we look inwards, we can find the Lord within. That journey of going inwards is called a spiritual journey. Spiritual journey is the search and discovery of the Self within each of us - Atmadarshana. When you find God, how will you recognize him? How does one recognize God? Peace, love, compassion, silence and wisdom, this is the place where you can find God. That is the kingdom of God in us. One, who enters that kingdom, finds the Eternal bliss. He becomes a fountain of love and compassion. He becomes source of wisdom. He becomes the light - Light of the Self- Atmajyothi.
