God is everywhere, so why meditate?

Fine. God is everywhere. China said God is everywhere. And they raided Tibet. The Taliban and terrorists said God is everywhere — and they raided Afghanistan in Shardan, the Buddhist statues. Many companies are saying “God is everywhere; we love God,” and they are making up a fraud of billions of dollars... So I know God is everywhere and you know God is everywhere. And so what? The world is carrying on as it is.

It’s you and I who have to change. God is everywhere. But you and I do not realise God. If we realised God in this world, if humanity was a realised humanity, there would be no murders, no killings, and no raping of states and taking over countries. The Muslim knows that God is everywhere. The terrorists know that God is everywhere. Allah is everywhere. And the Christians also know and the Catholics know that God is everywhere. And they're shooting and killing one another. And raiding one another's countries. And God is everywhere.

It's good God is everywhere. But how does that affect you and me? Just by saying God is everywhere, he does not become everywhere. God is in you also. But Kriya Yoga tells you, and asks you the question: Are you in God? Are you in God? No, you are not in God. And for God to be in you and you to realise God within you, you must practice Kriya Yoga. 

It's very easy to say: Oh, since God is everywhere, I am God. So, let me have my whiskey and my cigarettes, and let me have all my 500 women consorts, and dance on the Fiji Island. There are people like that — but they are deceiving themselves. They are lazy, self-deceptive people, who do not want to face the realities of the world.

Merely talking philosophy does not make you God-Realised. You must take the first step to God. Then He will take 10 steps toward you. But you can't just sit and say God is everywhere. That is mere philosophy with no reality. Philosophy must be backed by reality.

Christ said, “I am one with God.” He told Lazarus, “Lazarus, take up thy bed and walk. Wake.” He raised the dead. If these parrot philosophers also go and say, “Hey dead man, Rise.” Will the dead man rise? Christ was reality who spoke philosophy. The other philosophers are an empty bubble who speak philosophy. They cannot do what they talk. 

At the marriage at Canaan, Christ said, “Okay, now the water will be changed to wine.” Philosopher will also say, “Oh, by the mutation of atoms we can change the water to wine.” But when you ask him to change the water to wine, he cannot do it. So, a person who has no reality, no realisation cannot afford to speak philosophy. So, please carry on your meditation.
