If you wish to have the vision of the Lord, the first step is to develop a bond with God. God cannot be realised through the intellect, through book knowledge and words. God cannot be understood through words, though it is true, we talk about God only through the medium of language.
Whenever a tragedy occurs, or we go through a trauma, we cry out in anguish: where is God? The question is asked because we have not built up any relationship with God. We must create a relationship with God. We must know God: and knowing God is an experience very similar to that of knowing your own brother, your sister, your friend, your spouse. Did anyone have to formally introduce you to your mother, father, brother, or sister? Did you have to attend lectures or workshops on the importance of family relationships? Did you have to have lessons on building bonds with your spouse and children? These beautiful bonds came naturally to you, didn’t they?
Meditation awakens the hidden shakti within us and through this shakti we can feel and experience God. This does not mean that you abandon all your worldly duties and be engrosses in worship.
