Here in Prasanthi Nilayam you have Divine vibrations. Elsewhere you have demonic vibrations. Recognise the difference between these two kinds of vibrations. Realise that association with good people ultimately leads to God-realisation. You must understand that God’s grace is related to your good actions. When your conduct is good, God’s grace comes direct to you. People ask, ‘Where is God?’ But, even without knowing it, a so-called unbeliever believes in God.

Once, Prime Minister Nehru visited Madurai in South India. He was not interested in spiritual matters. God has no meaning for him. His agnosticism was a product of the environment in which he grew up. The local leaders took him to Meenakshi temple, whether he was inclined to visit the temple or not. During the visit, the leaders who were with Nehru praised the ornaments worn by the Goddess and told him that the diamonds and gems in the jewels on the idol were worth crores of rupees. After listening to them, Nehru remarked, ‘Why is it that these valuable gemstones are placed on a valueless idol?’ After that he was returning from the sanctum. He did not notice the door and he hit against it and stumbled. At that moment, he cried out: ‘Oh! My God!’This shows each one has his own God and refers to Him as ‘my God’.Thus, even without being conscious of it, all have some faith in God. The reason is that God is in everyone. That divinity manifests itself without one’s knowledge. Faith in God is natural to man. Doubts about God are artificial exercises of the mind.(SSS Vol.28, pp. 54-55)
