Question: How can I experience God's Essence?

Sri Chinmoy: You can experience God’s Essence by knowing and feeling that all the time, throughout Eternity, you are and have been God’s substance. If you are God’s substance, then there has to be someone who is your essence. Substance cannot exist by itself; it needs essence. So if you are the substance, then God is the essence. You have to know that there is an origin, and the origin is the essence. I am only the product. If I exist, then somebody is responsible for my existence. If I am the flower, then God is the fragrance. If I am the fruit, then God is the seed.
