Is The Supreme Soul (God) Really Omnipresent (present everywhere) – cont.?
If the Supreme Soul (God) were omnipresent there would be no need for knowledge and no need to search for peace. The One who is the ocean of peace and the ocean of knowledge would be everywhere. Perhaps the strongest point against the idea of literal omnipresence is the point of relationship. In the heart of every soul – there is a distinct memory - I am the child, God is my Father. If God is omnipresent, does that mean that the Father is present inside the child?
God is also the supreme teacher, guide, liberator, friend and purifier of human souls. That is why everyone turns their thoughts to Him in their hours of sorrow. The idea that God is omnipresent is indeed the ultimate excuse and greatest escape from responsibility of the mistakes that human souls have made and continue to make. After all, if God were omnipresent (present in everyone) He would be responsible for good as well as evil karmas that humans commit. An omnipresent God implies that we have nothing to complete in ourselves for we are already God. Am I really God? One could not seriously admit to such a claim. It is only through deep and concentrated meditation that one can enter the spiritual dimension where His presence is truly felt.

Message for the day 12-07-2012
----------------------------------------------------------
The power of good wishes enables disheartened ones to experience
happiness.
Expression:
The usual reaction to the negativity in another person is to behave
negatively too, i.e., to express negative qualities. This continues
although this does not bring about the desired change in the other
person. On the other hand, when there is the ability to see the
positive qualities in the other person and have good wishes based on
that it becomes a source
of power to bring about a change to positivity.
Experience:
When I have the ability to give positive feelings and good wishes to
the other person even when they are negative, they are able to get the
power to change the negative to positive. I find that the change that
I seek for in others is much more quicker and easier than if there is
the emphasis just on negativity.
