The Jig Is Up, God! Yaron

I know who I am. I can't fool myself any longer. The jig is up, God! After having searched for God for such a long time and in so many places, I feel I have finally found God. After God had been so elusive to me, as if hiding from me, I feel I have finally discovered God's hideout. Through doing spiritual practices, reading spiritual texts, and receiving spiritual guidance, God could no longer conceal Himself from me. In reality, God was not hidden from me at all. I discovered that God is standing right inside me, resting inside my mind, dwelling in my heart. I've got you cornered, God. The jig is up! As you may already know, in order for our spiritual journey to bear fruit we require two ingredients: grace and effort. One supports and sustains the other. Grace is the divine generosity with which we have already been blessed. Our souls have been blessed with the ability to tell the difference between what brings us closer to and what takes us farther from understanding, knowing and ultimately realizing our own divine nature. It is grace that also makes us decide to make the necessary effort to bring more grace into our lives. Effort is what we bring into our own spiritual journey. When we do spiritual practices, such as meditation, singing the glory of God, selflessly serving causes for improving our world, giving and sharing, and keeping graceful company, we generate a power that helps us to know our divine nature. This knowledge acts as a channel for receiving even more grace. Effort is its own reward. Contemplation is another very important spiritual practice that greatly helps us on our spiritual journey. I invite you to begin a new leg on your spiritual journey that will lead you back to your real home.
