Essence of Religion

Sri Sadgurubhyoh Namah 

There is Iswara

There is a force which runs the universe

That force is called by various names by various religions. 

We can merge in that unseen, unknowable force by acknowledging that fact. 

Prayer, meditation, kriya yoga, japa, service makes the mind in tune with that force. 

When mind is in tune with that force, mind finds peace. 

We can call that force by any name. 

It doesn't speak any words. Yet it touches the heart. 

It is felt as myself, my inner most Self. Dearest of all. 

When attention is taken to sahasrara in kriya yoga, that is felt. 

When naama japa is chanted, that is felt. 

When we serve a needy person, that is felt. 

When a bhajan is sung, that is felt. 

When we pray, that is felt. 

When we meditate, that is felt. 

It is always there, as the background. Never absent. 

That alone is truth. 

Satyam, Shivam, Sundaram.
