He is there and he is always there. He is always talking to us and guiding us. We just have to tell him that please guide me and we feel his guidance from every direction. There are two problems, first we do not ask and we do not ask enough. Second, we do not trust.
One girl asked me, how could she connect with God and I told her that she is always connected. She could not believe that. As per her, he is bestowing upon his grace only on few ones. Some famous names she counted like Kabir, Narad etc. Well the thing is, somewhere we are told that God is far away. But in reality, God is always inside us, in our hearts. He is talking to us, guiding us. We just need to have faith that whatever we are hearing, we need to trust that.
So how do we know what we are hearing.
Have your question in mind or whatever you are asking. Close your mind. Look inside. Go deeper inside. If you want choose silent place or a place full of nature. Why place full of nature because nature has a calming affect on us. Energy around us is impacting. When we are in midst of nature, we start feeling better because nature is calm. Allow your senses to calm down. If you have problem in that also, ask God to calm you down and help you focus. Now, surrender and ask. Then observe your thoughts and also, if some images come to your mind. Do not ask many questions at once. Having doubts is also like many questions. (Somewhere it is like meditation on the question). Have faith your question will be answered. Initially, it may be sometime to focus and feel the answer. But gradually, you will see things more clearly.
He is in our hearts, always guiding us, loving us, talking to us. have faith.
What makes me wonder is, he listens to every prayer, everything we are saying, so he must be having so much faith in us. We do not listen to someone, we do not trust. So if he is listening to each of us, he trusts each of us. So have faith in his faith! Listen to him with faith and love and you will get all your answers.
