Arupam: The Divine Within

It is a common misconception that God will always directly show us the right path or provide clear, divine guidance in every situation. Many people believe that if they simply wait or pray, they will receive a sign that will show them exactly what to do. However, the reality is far more complex and empowering: humans are inherently capable of discerning right from wrong through their own understanding, wisdom, and intuition.

The idea that God will show us the way can sometimes be a passive approach to life, suggesting that we should wait for external guidance instead of actively engaging in the process of decision-making. In contrast, the true spiritual journey involves cultivating awareness and developing a sense of personal responsibility. We have been given the ability to make choices, to learn from experiences, and to understand the consequences of our actions. This implies that the path to righteousness is not about waiting for a sign, but rather about cultivating inner clarity and integrity.

The key lies in having the right intention. When we approach life with sincerity, honesty, and a genuine desire to do what is morally right, we align ourselves with higher principles and divine wisdom. This alignment doesn’t mean that God will magically intervene, but rather that by maintaining a pure heart and clear intention, we attune ourselves to a deeper spiritual truth. In this state, we become more perceptive, more mindful, and more aware of the choices that reflect our higher purpose. 

Seeing God, in this sense, is not about witnessing a physical manifestation but experiencing the divine through our actions, choices, and inner state. When we cultivate the right intentions—rooted in love, compassion, and truth—we become aligned with the divine essence, and through this alignment, we "see" God in our lives. It is through our integrity, our moral choices, and our commitment to doing what is right that we come to experience the divine presence, not as an external force, but as something that is deeply intertwined with our inner selves.
