It is said that, "Manomoolam Idam Jagat" (The world is a
projection of our mind). Our Vak (speech) represents Shiva.
We need not go anywhere in search of Gods, to a distant place.
God is in us, with us, above us, below us and around us. In
fact, you are God. Your mind alone is responsible for your joy
or sorrow. We think sorrow is thrust on us by someone from
outside. No! All these experiences flow from you only.
You are responsible for everything. If you identify yourself
with the world and think "I am so and so" you will remain separate
from God. On the other hand, if you realize that all
experiences emanate from your mind, and that you are God, you will
become God!
