Vedic \u1e5bishis have given us courage by uttering the simple truth, \u201cGod is the Life of our life.\u201d A great sage carried it further by saying there is one thing God cannot do: God cannot separate Himself from us. This is be\u00adcause God is our life. God is the life in the birds. God is the life in the fish. God is the life in the animals. Becoming aware of this Life energy in all that lives is becoming aware of God\u2019s loving presence within us. We are the un\u00addying consciousness and energy flowing through all things. Deep inside we are perfect this very moment, and we have only to discover and live up to this perfection to be whole. Our energy and God\u2019s energy are the same, ever coming out of the void. We are all beautiful children of God. Each day we should try to see the life energy in trees, birds, animals and people. When we do, we are seeing God \u015aiva in action. The Vedas affirm, \u201cHe who knows God as the Life of life, the Eye of the eye, the Ear of the ear, the Mind of the mind\u2014he indeed com\u00adpre\u00adhends fully the Cause of all causes.\u201d Aum Nama\u1e25 \u015aiv\u0101ya.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who Am I?
