While this is clear philosophically, how does one translate this intellectual understanding into a living reality when real-life difficulties strike? Why does the human mind still get pulled into anxiety despite knowing the indwelling presence, and what practical inner steps help us move from mental knowledge to true, unshakeable equanimity in the face of suffering?
God residing within us means that the very Source of creation, the Almighty, All-knowing, All-loving Creator, is with us. Would you then have any fear or suffering when you know, not just intellectually but as a matter of fact when we discover that the Divine Himself is always with us. All that we will have to do then is to turn towards Him and refer everything to Him. Once we have done that, we know or have the faith that He will take care of everything in His own way. Then all fear naturally drops away. Imagine the Creator is with you always and still you worry about difficulties. Isn’t it strange, even bit foolish!
Affectionately,
