Weekly Quote 48, with Commentary from the School of Truth

My presence will go with you - (Ex 33:15)
I am open everywhere and always to God

Many people feel God is in some way rooted to their place of worship or communion. They go forth each day and then return to Him. But Omnipresence never leaves us, not for an instant. He is present in our periods of dedicated communion but no less in our most busy and active moments. He is present in events spiritual and carnal, when we are "good" and when we are "bad", when we are distracted by the world and when we take the opportunity to reflect.

His guidance is available not only at major crossroads in life but at every step we take. Often our greatest flashes of understanding come in unexpected moments - while we are busy with some ordinary task, doing something unconnected with our quandaries. Travellers on the path of Truth learn always to be open to His presence and not to depend on "big decisions".

"Do not be anxious about tomorrow" counsels the Master, because anxiety tends to close our inner doors. God is not constrained by time or place. So, if we leave our difficulties in His hands, neither should we be constrained.
