Swami says: "At first, God stands at a distance watching your efforts. He is like the teacher who stands aside while the student writes the answers to his questions."
"When you shed your attachment to the material world and turn to doing good and serving others, God comes encouragingly near. He is like the Sun God who stands waiting outside the closed door, like a servant who keeps his place. He does not announce His presence or knock on the door. He simply waits. But when the master opens the door even a little, the Sun rushes in at once and drives out the darkness. When you ask God for help, He is right beside you with hands held out to help you. All you need is the discrimination to pray to God and the wisdom to remember Him.''
