Why look all over the world for the Truth when the Truth is all around you and within you?
We are given to understand, quite wrongly, that someone or something out there will give us the answer when we are looking for the Truth. Nothing can be farther from the truth in thinking in this manner. No doubt the Guru who may appear as a thought or a form is essential to lead one to the Truth. Yet, when one thinks, where do the thoughts come from? Do they not come from the Eternal Source itself? The Source is Itself the Guru. And still yet, the Source shall remain a mystery when one tries to objectify it. In the sense that the Source cannot be described in words or thoughts. It is Itself beyond or prior to the thoughts and words and hence beyond description.
All intelligence belongs to the Source or who you really are. In fact, all that you see, hear, feel, taste or touch is nothing but the Universal Intelligence at work. Have you ever seen a formation of a flock of birds all flying at once at high speed, flapping their wings almost in unison, and not colliding even once? Have you ever given thought to how that can be possible without an air traffic controller telling each bird how close to the other bird it is and what altitude and direction it is flying? When the flock of flying birds turn, do you see them colliding? Do they not KNOW that in the very next moment all of them will be turning left or all will be turning right? Is it not clear that there is an ALL KNOWING, ALL SEEING, SUPERIOR INTELLIGENCE at play here? Of course, scientists may come in and try to explain that there are sensors and signals that the birds give to each other at all times and hence the synchronicity in action. But then, would the sensors and signals work if there was no LIFE ENERGY in the birds? The Life Energy is itself the Intelligence that is behind all the play that we see in the world around us.
You want another example? How come a newly hatched bird suddenly spreads its wings and takes off flying almost as if it already KNEW all about flying? Ever given it a thought? Does the little bird get some flying instructions? Of course, it can all be explained with the gene theory, is an answer you might hear. Just in case you are wondering what exactly is a gene, it is just DNA (DeoxyriboNucleic Acid), a chemical if you may call it. Can a chemical KNOW? And why doesn't a dead bird fly if it already has the DNA or gene responsible for flying? Answer this question!!
One could go on and on talking about everyday observations which are quite plain and simple mysteries but one may have never given it thought. Or even if one did give it a thought, it was not about what made this mysterious occurrence possible. Look and think about it and contemplate about the possible Source of the mystery itself and it will eventually become clear that there is none other the ONE INTELLIGENT ENERGY that is ALL. One can SEE the answer clearly only when one REALLY WANTS TO LOOK FOR IT. Just LOOK and SEE. It is obvious that the Truth is all around you and within you.
