Knowing God

- Payal Seewat Toronto

                Once man knows God, all his feelings of discrimination are gone. The walls dividing the high

                        and low do not stand anymore. One sees the image of God in all human beings

                                                                                    - Satguru Baba Hardev Singh Ji

Before I experienced the knowledge of God, I was living in a world of darkness and ignorance. As an unrealised soul, I could not see the image of God in others, and this therefore created barriers. I would have been quite willing to fight for religious conviction, without understanding that since we are all the children of the same God, we should be uniting religion instead of dividing it.

Having come to know the Almighty God, I am learning to see God in all individuals. Because of this, I am able to see all humans on a more equal footing. Discrimination and all other barriers no longer exist, allowing love and happiness to enter my heart and soul. When good deeds are also present in the individual. In my experience, the knowledge   of God is the key to a more peaceful and same serene life while we are on this earth.
