Act in accordance to your nature

There is so much more than what we think we know, and there is so much that we still do not know. Just understanding this alone can take our life to greater heights of progress.

You should follow the path that is in accordance with your nature; one that appeals to you. If you are someone who is driven more by feelings than by logic and intellect, then you should engage more in Satsang and Bhakti (devotion). 

If you are driven more strongly by intellect and logic, then you will become restless if you sit in a satsang for a long time. Even music does not appeal to the one driven by the intellect. Why is this so? It is because there is so much more than what we think we know, and there is so much that we still do not know. Just understanding this alone can take us to greater heights of progress in our life.

This creation is vast, endless, and full of wonders; it has no end, it has no shores. Knowing this is being in Gyaan Yoga. A Jnani ( a wise person) and a Vijnani (person with a scientific outlook) are always aware of this fact, so they are always close to God. There is a 27 km long artificial tunnel constructed in Geneva. One scientist discovered the God particle (referring to the discovery of the Higgs-Boson particle) through his experiments in that tunnel. 

What does ‘God Particle’ mean? It means - that most fundamental and indivisible particle from which everything is made up of. That from which everything in creation is made of and which is the essence of everything – that is what is meant by the God Particle. When I met those scientists in Geneva, they told me, ‘We have found God by discovering this particle, because everything is made up of this alone’.

Do not think that only a person who sits in a temple all day and sings devotional songs and rings the temple bells is truly worshipping God. No, it is not so. Anyone who deeply believes in the mystery of the Creation, who is aware of its greatness and its diversity, and who surrenders to the power of the Creation - is truly engaged in Upasana (deep contemplation of God).
