“It is only through bliss that one becomes a messenger of God, the divine. The moment that you are blissful you become a vehicle, a passage for God to descend into the world. You become an opening for God to pour into the world.
Every blissful person can become a blessing to the world, because he becomes proof that God exists. There is not any outer proof. Only the presence of a blissful person is an indirect proof that something more than the mundane exists.
It is proof that something more than the so-called life exists. Philosophers and theologians have argued much to prove God, but they have not succeeded. Mystics have
proved it without any effort, because their presence was enough. Every blissful person is a messenger of God.
Meditation is the way to create as many blissful people as possible, because the world now needs as many proofs for God's existence as possible.
The misery and darkness of the world are becoming too heavy that God is disappearing from the world. The meditators have to become bridges between the ordinary
world and the spiritual world, which is within the ordinary world.”
