Being completely absorbed in ātma-niṣṭhā [self-abidance], giving not even the slightest room to the rising of any thought other than ātma-cintanā [self-thought or self-attentiveness], alone is giving oneself to God. Even though we place whatever amount of burden upon God, that entire amount he will bear. Since one paramēśvara śakti [supreme ruling power or power of God] is driving all activities*, instead of yielding to it why should we always think, ‘it is necessary to act in this way; it is necessary to act in that way’? Though we know that the train is going bearing all the burdens, why should we who go travelling in it suffer bearing our small luggage on our head instead of remaining happily leaving it placed on that [train]?
(‘Nāṉār?’ [‘Who Am I?’], 13th Paragraph)
[everything that happens in this world]
Translation by Michael James
However it is difficult for many reasons
1. The mind is not trained to be vacant
2. When the mind turns inward it is goes to a make belief imaginative God. That God cannot give real lasting peace or joy
3. The mind even when it touches the source wants to manipulate God for personal desires.
4. Even when that is overcome, the mind makes that a drab routine. In frustration
But it is amazing few if any teacher Guru or blog talks about the 5 ways God manifests!
