"therefore it's only logical that a PART of God exists inside each of us." According to the Teaching of my Guru, Adi Da, the focal point of that "part" is the beating of the heart. In other words, when that beating ceases, the life of that specific physical being ends (but not the two other subtle-bodies that constitute the so-called egoic being). So even though you could say that this is a "part" of the being, because the being is utterly reliant on the beating of the heart, you could say more accurately that the being is arising in God, and pervaded by God. Something of this is described at: adidam.org "The problem is how one find God (i.e. the absolute truth) in himself/herself and others for which we do not know what it truly is!" Yes! And that creates the Search. And if that search is truly sincere, the Guru finds you (even though it seems at first that you find the Guru). By Guru I mean Krishna, Buddha, Mohammed, Guru Nanak, Muktananda, Jesus, Adi Da (and others) Then a new process begins in which the student is instructed by the Guru, and the student establishes the "connection" to the Guru by his or her response. And then the being is, progressively taught and transformed by the Guru. The Guru does not need to be in a physical body to effect such transformations. On the other hand a more dynamic process exists, which is the relationship with the living Guru. I don't mean by saying any of this to diminish anybody's existing Path to God. I am only describing things based on my 17 year relationship to Adi Da. Namaste! Jim
