Why I am Different?
The God-oriented life begins with the discovery of God. When individuals discover God, whether men or women, they have found the truth. Moreover, this truth pervades their whole being. This feeling of having discovered the truth becomes such a thrilling experience that it fills them with everlasting conviction. This everlasting conviction removes all frustrations from their lives. Therefore, losses are no longer such, for, despite them, they never lose the feeling that their most significant asset, i.e., God, is still with them.
Man experiences this realisation by pondering upon God’s creations. The truth is that the present universe expresses God’s attributes. In this respect, the present universe is a complete introduction to God. God is visible in His creations, just as a human sees his reflection in the mirror, without a doubt.
The God-oriented life for man starts by remembering God. He begins to feel the presence of God. Everything serves to remind him of God. God’s remembrance is never absent from his heart and mind. His mornings and evenings should be spent as if he is living in God’s neighbourhood. Just as rain replenishes the crops, so does he remain ever immersed in the remembrance of God.
For one who discovers God, the entire universe becomes an open book of God for him. Every leaf of a tree becomes a page of the sacred book.
