Everything in this whole creation exists only because of God

A brief utterance of Pujya Maharaj Ji. Watch the video above to hear the full talk.

Full Discourse

A farmer from a village was shown a nail by an educated man, who said, "Look, this is a nail. A house is built from this same metal, and it flies in the sky." The farmer replied, "Don't brag. We are farmers, but we know this much: iron cannot fly in the sky. Well, make a nail fly and show us." They could not make it fly. But an airplane does fly, doesn't it? It is made of iron. An airplane flies, and it is of that very same metal.

So we feel that if God were there, we would experience Him. God is experienced. If you exist, God exists. If not, what is your existence? What are you? You are electricity, and there is a bulb. Its existence is visible. So, speaking plainly, is it not God who is manifesting? This voice that is coming out, where is it other than God? The consciousness you see is from Him, based on His power… [mis-heard]. Suppose that in one place, Dhanna Ji was given a sil-batta (grinding stone) for bhang. It had no form, no colour, no attraction, and no attachment. He was told, "Worship this." He worshipped it, and Shyamsundar appeared in it. You accepted the word of your guru, who is like a mother, so you came, didn't you? Now the father of the world says, "First show me God, and then you can go and eat air."

This is how it will be understood. First do naam jap. Prepare your chittavritti for union with God. Make yourself yearning. It will come into your experience.
