Divine potency is the source of all talents
The primary requisite for man is to realise the divine potency in him that is the source of all the faculties and talents in him. This is true whether one is an atheist, a theist or an agnostic. No one in the world can get on without this energy. It may be called by different names. Names are not important. The energy is one. It is this divine energy which directs mankind on the right path. Men should strive to recognise the presence of the Divine even in small things. In his speech earlier today spoke about the Organizations. The organizations are carrying on their activities with devotion and dedication. But they do not try to find out what should be the ideal to be achieved. "Are you engaged in this work for your own satisfaction or for the satisfaction of the Divine?" This is the question they should ask themselves. In this context an incident from the may be recalled. Once a devotee went to and asked him: "Oh Lord! What is the power by which one can protect oneself?" replied' "Son! When you love God, that power itself will' protect you." In the , asked , "What should one do to earn the love of the Lord?" The Lord replied' "You simpleton! You imagine you are loving God. The truth is God is seeking a true devotee." of people all over the world are in quest of God. But where are they searching for Him? In my view, the 'very ideal of a quest for God is mistaken. There is no need for you to search for God. God is 'omnipresent. He is everywhere. Devotees imagine they are searching for God. This is not true. It is God who is in search of devotees. "Where is the-devotee to be found who is pure in thought, word and deed?" God is searching for such a devotee. You need not search for God. God is nearer to you than your mother and father. You yourself are divine. How can you go in search of yourself? This is the mistake you commit. When everything is permeated by the Divine, who is the searcher of the Divine? It is because the world has lacked men who could proclaim this truth with authentic experience that it has sunk to such degrading levels.
