We must understand the nature of God as fulfilment. That precludes the possibility of thinking of God as that from which we are going to get something. God is fulfilment. God is fulfilling Itself, just as the sun, shining and pouring forth it’s warmth and light, is fulfilling itself as the sun. We do not pray to the sun to send out more light or to give more warmth. If we were going to utter any kind of a prayer in regard to the sun, our prayer would be an inner realization that IT IS – the sun is shining; the sun is warmth; the sun is light.
So it is with God. We should never think of God as that from which we expect to derive some good.we should never think of God as that which can bring peace on earth. There is no such God. The only God there is, is a God who is life eternal.
