The Upanishads

“Whatever lives is full of the Lord.” I think this is a great way to summarize this passage and most religions. “Unmoving, it moves; is far away, yet near; within all, outside all.” God is everywhere and nowhere, he is everything and nothing, you can see him but you do not really see him. In this passage the one sentence that really sums up the Hindu religion and belief is “the man who can see all creatures in himself, himself in all creatures, knows no sorrow.” If God is in everything than he is also within us, when we come to believe, understand, and respect this we will be able to achieve a great spiritual being. We will also begin to understand life and the cycle of life. With this new understanding we will no longer be occupied with the unimportant issues that we may face in our lifetime like obtaining possessions, we will be able to realize that no matter how expensive or new something is, its value is nothing compared to the value of holding God close to your heart and mind. Understanding this and striving for this will bring us great peace of body, mind, and spirit. So I end with something that was at the end of this passage that really made sense “ When you see that God acts through you at every moment, in every movement of mind or body, you attain true freedom. When you realize the truth, and cling to nothing in the world, you enter eternal life.” God is holding and pulling the strings he is the one giving you your choices, so just get use to it and live your life as purely as you can. Your story has already been written your just living it, so make the right choices not the easy choices.
