Same theme, different voices
We have been given this human life to understand the all-pervading, omnipresent God. This knowledge can only be given by someone who has themselves realized God. Life becomes truly happy only after meeting such a God-realized person.
The Lord is near those who call upon Him in truth, and who ask Him for the things that are truly important, such as salvation.
You give very little when you give only your possessions. True giving happens when you give of yourself.
There is one God, whose name is true, the creator, beyond fear, beyond vengeance, timeless, unborn, self-existent, and benevolent by the Guru's grace.
