Study circle Summary : Union with God

With Swami’s grace we explored the true goal of life: Union with God. True worship of God consists in seeking union with God by realizing one’s own divinity.If you want real (true) lasting happiness, you can get it only by union with God. We must keep reminding ourselves constantly- “I am God, I am not different from God; I am the indivisible supreme. I am sat-chit-ananda, I am Om thath Sath” By repeating these prayers, we awaken the awareness of divinity within us.
Love directed toward God in totality is known as bhakti (devotion)
The form of love is divinity; Divinity is permeated with love. If one is filled with love, he is eligible for union with God.

Thoughts from members:

Connection with Swami :
1)I keep practicing that Swami & I are one. Every thought, action is directed by Swami alone.
2)I consider Swami as my Guru. I use His teachings as a barometer to verify all my actions.
3)He is my soulmate. I confide in Him and pray that He guides all my actions.
Happiness vs. Bliss:
1)Chasing joy in material objects is temporary & is happiness, whereas being content is bliss.
We offer our gratitude to Swami for guiding us through this session.
