Being As An Ocean It's Really Not As Complicated As You're Making It Out To Be
"I do dimly perceive that while everything around me is
ever-changing, ever-dying there is, underlying all that
change, a living power that is changeless, that holds all
together, that creates, dissolves, and recreates. That
informing power or spirit is God, and since nothing else
that I see merely through the senses can or will persist,
He alone is. And is this power benevolent or malevolent?
I see it as purely benevolent. For I can see, that in the
midst of death, Life persists, in the midst of untruth,
Truth persists, in the midst of darkness, Light persists.
Hence I gather, that God is Life, Truth, Light, He is
Love. He is the supreme good. But He is no god who merely
satisfies the intellect, if He ever does. God to be God
must rule the heart and transform it. He must express
Himself in every smallest act of His votary. It is proved
not by extraneous evidence, but in the transformed
conduct and character of those who have felt the real
presence of God within. To reject this evidence is to
deny oneself. This realization is preceded by an
immovable faith. He who would, in his own person, test
the fact of God’s presence can do so by a living faith,
and since faith itself cannot be proved by extraneous
evidence, the safest course is to believe in… the law of
Truth and Love. Exercise of faith will be the safest
where there is a clear determination summarily to reject
all that is contrary to Truth and Love. I confess that I
have no argument to convince through reason, faith
transcends reason. All that I can advise is not to
attempt the impossible." –Mahatma Gandhi
