5 Benefits Of Experiencing God With Us (Part 3)
When God Is With Us, Life Has Deeper Importance
Today, we are enjoying our lives in different ways. They are so many different sources of happiness of the five senses. We enjoy and forget, then again enjoy and forget. We feel happy also, but then the happiness goes away. We sometimes wonder also that happiness is not permanent. Yet we again look forward to the next source of happiness, which will excite us and give us that temporary positive feeling. We are always searching for happiness in this way and the search never gets over, it only gets over temporarily. Then after some time, our mind starts asking for more. What has happened in this process is, that our lives are losing importance in our own minds. We ourselves feel this is perhaps not the right way of living and something is lacking. Our mind also worries that what is the solution to this?
What is the mistake we are making? We have made friends with people and physical objects and other material possessions and even physical nature, but we have lost our Supreme friendship with God, who is the most complete personality, full of wisdom, qualities, powers and many different specialties. Is God stopping us to have good relationships with people and our close ones and friends? Is God stopping us to use good things in life and possess them? Is God stopping us to see good places in life and enjoy them? Not at all. He says continue doing all this. Keep having a good family and friends, enjoy all the work you do in your professional lives and have good degrees and positions in your roles. Also, have a good quality life with everything that is important in life. But, not to forget God while doing all this. God asks us that why have we forgotten Him so much, after we got many good things in the advanced world? God knows the world used to remember Him more when the world was slightly less advanced, sometime back. That time sources of happiness of the five senses were lesser in number and even lesser exciting. That is why God was more important. So, how did we lose our way? By becoming more materialistic. To regain the importance of our own lives, we need to regain the importance of God and His constant company. That will make our lives deeper in importance and we will also feel more content and happier when we do that.

5 Benefits Of Experiencing God With Us (Part 4)
When God Is With Us, Our Inner Powers Increase
One universal human soul need is spiritual power, which is lacking in the world today. It is seen that we can get upset, disturbed, irritated, worried and negatively influenced in different ways by different things again and again almost everyday. These are all signs of a lack of spiritual power and we see this only increasing everyday in our personal lives. Also, we are getting deeply influenced by the highs and lows of life. To be excited and over happy when life’s situations are going our way and to be disheartened and sad when they are not. Also, to get attached to people easily if they are nice to us and when we see some specialties in them and to hate people easily if they are not nice or have some weaknesses. Lastly, to get over attached to the beautiful physical attainments we have with us in the modern world and to constantly allow our mind to be thinking about them. These are all signs of less soul power. The world has its positives as well as negatives and we are constantly getting influenced by both of them in different ways. How to go beyond this influence and become more powerful?
First of all, we need to understand deeply that we need to go beyond all these influences. This is because sometimes we feel that being influenced by everything is natural and normal. But God says that this is not the original stage of the soul and not its original sanskar. Then, we need a way by which we become more detached and stronger internally. Also, instead of expecting situations, people and physical attainments to fulfil us internally, we need to keep God with us and imbibe His positive energy and spiritual power constantly. This way we will influence all of them and make them positive and beneficial for us and others and not be under their influence, which makes us emotional and weak. This is only possible when we become soul conscious and connect with God - the Supreme Soul in meditation and radiate our positive spiritual energy and God’s spiritual energy to situations, people and the physical world and nature and the many different physical things we see in the world today.
