Technique to Experience Divinity

Let me share an important technique that Lord Kṛṣṇa speaks.

For three days, create a space and think, feel that you are somebody else. It may seem funny! For instance, if you are a doctor, for three days think you are a sports person or a divine being such as Śiva; try with whoever you feel connected. Clearly visualize yourself as that divine being. The moment you change the idea, the root cognition about yourself, a tremendous freedom happens to you.

You will see a new consciousness rising in you. If you throw away the 'me', that alone liberates you, and if you start working on 'You', you experience tremendous bliss. This is the straight path to peace and bliss.

Caring for enriching others, focusing on the 'you' instead of 'I,' automatically takes you to the path of the Divine. Remember one thing: God is closest when we are blissful; when we are in misery we are farthest from God. The dilemma is that most of us remember God when we are in misery and that is the moment when we are farthest away also!

When we are in a blissful moment, when we feel blessed by Existence, that is when we are closest to God. Let that moment be of gratitude and meditation. In that moment, remember God existentially, not verbally. Let your whole being feel the vibration and become overwhelmed with the beyond. Don't lose that moment. It is precious.

Everybody is born ready for Divinity. If we miss it, it is totally our responsibility. We miss it because we never look within. We miss it because we are lazy and we give up on our ourselves. We miss it because we are not aware of the great blessing that Life is.
