When 'I am' and 'God is' become in your mind indistinguishable, then something will happen and you will know without a trace of doubt that God is because you are, you are because God is. The two are one.

Man having forgotten his true nature of being the all perfect Ether of Consciousness, is deluded by Ignorance into identifying himself with a body, etc., and regarding himself as an insignificant individual of mean capacity. If to him it is told that he is the creator of the whole universe, he will flout the idea and refuse to be guided. So coming down to his level the scriptures posit an God as the creator of the universe. But it is not the truth. However the scriptures reveal the truth to the competent seeker. You are now mistaking the nursery tale for metaphysical truth.

Then it is possible to be without effort, without strain ?

Not only that, it is impossible for you to make an effort beyond a certain extent.

Question:I want to be further enlightened. Should I try to make no effort at all ?

Answer: Here it is impossible for you to be without effort. When you go deeper, it is impossible for you to make any effort.

Question: The I can despense with outside help and by my own effort get into the deeper truth by myself ?

Answer: True. But the very fact that you are possessed of the quest of the self is a manifestation of the Divine grace. It is effulgent in the heart, the inner being, the Real Self. It draws you from within. You have to attempt to get in from without. You attempt is Vichara (Inquiry).

Question: Then Vichara (Inquiry) is not intellectual ?

Answer: No, it is inner quest.
