Who’s Dear to God?

That one is dear to me who runs not after the pleasant or away from the painful, grieves not, lusts not, but lets things come and go as they happen. Krishna – Gita

as is

God loves us all; however how near (consciously) are we to God? That sense of conscious presence of ‘God’ manifests itself as a certain ‘peace that passeth understanding’, a relaxed beingness.

And how do we get there? We do it by being a ‘relaxed presence’, someone who doesn’t get perturbed or excited. Specifically meditation/stillness and an attitude of letting ‘things come and go’ really helps. We can then be best prepared to be vehicles of love and action for the Divine.
