You will realise God when you respect His creations

God is an invisible distributed energy. He resides in every human being, plants and animals. The human beings are endowed with sixth sense, which should be used in realising God. You will realise God only when you love, care and respect His creations. God expects you to carry out his functions. If you do that you become an ideal for others. God does not reside in temples. Once you are aware of the presence of God then you realise the futility of visiting temples.

We all commit mistakes. But when the same mistakes are repeated it becomes a sin. Seeking pardon for your sins results in self-realisation. Your consciousness is God. Respect your consciousness, God will always be with you.

Dr. M.Ponnavaikko
