How are we separate from Vaheguru (God) if He is inside us? - SYF Camp 2015 - Q&A #9

The Saints say out loud and
loud, he's inside you.

But the funny thing is,
the Saints have to say it

because other people don't realise
that's why they are separated.

If you look at 'Prabh Milne Ka Chao'
by Bhai Sewa Singh,

they say the world ocean
is from here to here.

The ocean to swim across,
it's from here to here,

that is how long it is.

If you can get the tenth gate to open,
you can experience Vaheguru.

Things are everywhere but if you
haven't got eyes you can't see.

If your eyes are closed
you can't see,

that's how we are separated
from Vaheguru.

He is all around us but we're blind,

we're blinded by our ego.

Ego doesn't just mean pride,
pride is one form of the five thieves

but the deeper root is "I am"
and "you are not".

That's weird because you are there,
there is nothing but You.

The ego is gone, the person
doesn't think they are separate

they think: Maharaj you are part of me
and I am part of you.

I thought I was separated but
you were always here.

When we go into our connection to God
and experience Waheguru,

the first stage is like:
"wow! you're so amazing!"

because you feel like you met
Vaheguru for the first time,

that bliss comes and you're like:
"Wow Vaheguru, it's so amazing"

"I've met you, it's so nice to meet you"

As you go down this
route a bit further

then you start to experience the
pain you've had

from so many lives
where you left Vaheguru.

You realize this is not
something new,

this bliss is not something
new to you

You've had this bliss many lives but
now you've got separated,

then that pain of separation comes up
and then Maharaj says:

Now you've got this pain inside you that
you really miss Vaheguru,

I've been separated from you for so
long now I can't wait to get back to you.

So he's here but we're lost because
our ego separates us.

We're not finding something new,
we're going back.

The verse that explains this is:

We're not going to find something
which is new to us,

we're going back to
where we came from.

A beautiful line, I look at this line
and it answers everything.

Everything is in there.

Who you come out of,
you become back,

go back to that One.

It's our root, we just have
to go and realise it.

We are sleeping in ego

because we don't realise the truth
that is right in front of us.

Maharaj said the tenth gate
is like the other gates of our body

and remember the other gates
are like our eyes,

so if you close your eyes
you can't see anything,

if you plug your ears,
you can't hear the music.

In the same way if this is closed,
you can't see what is inside you

because it looks inside you,
it doesn't look out.

The saints have to come and tell us:
it is inside us,

but we don't know,
we think no, we look outside.

When people say Waheguru,
look up, he is not there.

He's there but he isn't there
you can't find him

The sent satellites up,
they're up there,

you might as well say
I'll worship the satellite

Maybe there's a satellite but there's
no Waheguru they can prove up there

He's invisible but
he's only visible inside.
