Become God
- Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Become God to each other. Do not look for God somewhere in the sky, but see God in every pair of eyes, in the mountains, water, trees and animals. How? Only when you see God in yourself. Only Gods can worship Gods. To recognise divinity, there are three dimensions: time, space and mind. For a seeker, it is necessary to honour time and space so he or she can experience sacredness in his or her mind.
When you honour time and space, your mind becomes alert. But for the one who has transcended the mind, either sacredness has no meaning, or all time, every place and every mood is sacred. Precious moments are few in life. Catch them and treasure them. Snatch every opportunity to celebrate, then you feel great and full. Then celebration infiltrates your mind in all moods and space, and celebration is inevitable.
Celebration is the nature of the spirit. A celebration without spirituality does not have any depth. And silence gives depth to celebration. Spirituality is a harmonious blend of outer silence and inner celebration; and also inner silence and other celebration. Celebrate while you are alone and when you are with people. Some know to celebrate when they are in a crowd. Some can only rejoice alone in silence. Do both. Celebrate the silence and Celebrate the noise. Celebrate life and celebrate death. Celebration reminds you of the fullness of the moment. Treasure them. Treasuring them you transcend the mind, time and space. And that is true celebration.
