The God Within

This article is about how Hinduism lays the foundation for the inward search:-
A search becomes essential when something needs to be located or found. It becomes, in this process, all the more essential to know the description of the object under search. In the case of the search of God within, the person starts identifying the superlatives in him and how it is very close to the God within. The great Nammalwar suggests an easy way, He advocates leading the life of Sri Rama who was an embodiment of truth and adorned the path of dharma.

As many roads can be laid to reach a place of destination, is it easy to lay a road or realise the direction to reach the God within. One may have to take birth after birth to realise this truth. The mundane way of living knows not the direction as opposed to the heavenly or the spiritual way. AdiSankara, Baghavan Ramana Maharishi, Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, The Paramacharya, were humans who showed the example how to find the - God within and mix into hime as One.

'Srimad Bhagavatham' illustrates the case of 'God Within' in the episode of Hiranyakasipu. When MahaVishnu killed Hiranyaksha, his brother Hiranyakasipu became wild and started pouncing at Mahavishnu who had no other means than to take to his heels. When Mahavishnu ran out of breath, a flash occurred in his mind how to go out of sight of Hiranyakasipu. The method and means were very easy for him. Mahavishnu simply entered into the heart of Hiranyakasipu, Alas, Hiranyakasipu who saw God outside could not see the - God within

When a person starts living a heavenly life, the realisation of the "absolute" dawns into him.
