God is the pure consciousness, all pervasive, ever existing. He is the pure intelligence that resides in you and in every creation of this cosmos. Do not look for God outside of you. If you go seeking him out in the world, there is hardly any chance of finding Him. Without turning away from the World or Maya, it is not possible to even understand the divine nature of oneself.

He can be found only if one is convinced of the unreality of the World. It is only then that one can start feeling the divinity within oneself.

Until you reach the stage when such wisdom arises in you, you must take the help of spiritual masters who have experienced . You must dedicate yourself to following the teachings of these evolved souls and abide by their teachings.
