Search for God

Q&A with Sirshree

Search for God

Seeker: From time immemorial, the search for God has always been on. Has there been any final conclusion to all this?

Sirshree: Yes. God is Silence manifested. It is only in silence that He can be known. Words can merely act as indicators. But when these words fall in the hands of sectarians, then they become the reason for differences and conflict. That is why people like the Buddha never even mention the word God.

Seeker: What stands between me and God?

Sirshree: Your fickle mind and its wrong concepts and beliefs.

Seeker: I have lots of shortcoming. Will God remove them?

Sirshree: If your faith persists – all these shortcoming would be overcome.

Seeker: Why doesn’t God himself raise this faith in me?

Sirshree: For this you have to understand the truth or surrender to God.

Seeker: If I surrender myself before God, then don’t I need to do prayers?

Sirshree: Surrendering is the most supreme and powerful prayer of all.

Seeker: But how to keep faith on God’s grace?

Sirshree: Don’t try to feel God’s grace with your mind. If you are not feeling His grace, it doesn’t mean that God is not showering grace on you. Do not compare or judge God’s grace in your imagination. You are born as a human – this itself is a big grace of God. Then in this body if the desire for truth arises, it is the second grace. Meeting a Guru who tells you the truth is the third grace. Faith arising on the Guru is the fourth instance of grace. You have already been bestowed with some of this grace.

Who am I

Q&A with Sirshree

Who Am I? ...Instead of imagining, experience it with peace.

Seeker:	Who am I?
Sirshree:	This is something that only you have to tell.
Seeker:	I try a lot. Yet I cannot find out that ‘I’. What is it like? Even after lots of effort I’m unable to find it. Nothing is clear.
Sirshree:	You are trying to know it with the help of your imagination. Truth is beyond imagination. When the mind is unable to see a particular thing then it starts imagining about it. Who is that who says that the ‘I’ cannot be found? Instead of imagining, experience it with peace. Before grasping the ‘I am’ feeling, ‘Understanding’ has to be gained. Otherwise the mind will again and again raise its head and will weave a web of imagination. Reach the roots of it. Understanding is imparted in the final truth discourses – that can make you reach there. Once you reach there, the mind falls or surrenders itself at the feet of God where everything is acceptable to it. This way, the mind will die. Surrendering yourself and understanding is one and the same. When the ego understands the power of God – then it surrenders. By understanding, it goes into silence.
Seeker:	How should this surrendering be?
Sirshree:	Surrendering is successful only after the real meaning of surrendering is understood. This knowledge comes only after attaining final Truth and supreme knowledge. This is not a state where the feeling changes and faith falters when our wishes are not granted. It is total acceptance and surrender, whether our demands are met or not. Surrendering is complete only when it is doubtless. Such surrendering encompasses absolutely everything, whatever happens with us or with others.
Seeker:	But isn’t it funny that we constantly keep trying to find this ‘I’? ‘Who am I? Who am I?’ – We keep thinking only of this.
Sirshree:	You think of yourself as the body, that is why it seems humorous. But it is exactly the opposite. This thing is very serious. The moment you know yourself – all problems, all the depression, anger, worries, hatred vanishes. The fear of death and the struggle of life ends.
