The Glory of God

1. Look around you, and see God's glory in all that lives and moves.
2. Enjoy the glory of God by wanting nothing for yourself.
3. Regard nothing as belonging to you; and envy nothing that belongs to others.
4. When you know in your heart that all things belong to God, then all things will bring you pleasure.
5. If you possess nothing, then you will become an instrument of God. Your work will be his work. And as an instrument of God, you will be perfectly free.
6. God himself never moves; yet he is swifter than thought.
7. God is stationary; yet the senses can never perceive him.
8. God is beyond the mind and the senses.
9. God stands still; yet he overtakes even the fastest athlete.
10. God is like a calm lake, and also like a stream flowing down a mountain.
11. God travels, and yet he does not travel.
12. He is far away, and yet he is near.
13. He is within all beings, and yet he is outside all beings.
14. Those who find God within themselves, and find God in others, lose all fear.
15. Those who are at one with all beings, and discern the unity of all beings, lose all sorrow.
16. God is light, and all comes from him.
17. God has no body(Spiritual Body), and so cannot be hurt.
18. He is pure, and so cannot be tainted by evil.
19. He is both immanent and transcendent;
20. he is below and above; he is everywhere.

Isa Upanishad
