Being As An Ocean – It's Really Not As Complicated As You're Making It Out To Be lyrics

I do dimly perceive that while everything around me is ever-changing
Ever-dying there is, underlying all that change, a living power that is changeless
That holds all together, that creates, dissolves, and recreates
That informing power of spirit is God, and since nothing else that I see merely through the senses can or will persist, He alone is
And is this power benevolent or malevolent?
I see it as purely benevolent
For I can see, that in the midst of death
Life persists, in the midst of untruth
Truth persists, in the midst of darkness, Light persists
Hence I gather, that God is Life, Truth, Light, He is Love
He is the supreme good
But He is no god who merely satisfies the intellect, if He ever does
God to be God must rule the heart and transform it
He must express Himself in every smallest act of His votary
It is proved not by extraneous evidence
But in the transformed conduct and character of those who have felt the real presence of God within
To reject this evidence is to deny oneself
This realization is preceded by an immovable faith
He who would, in his own person
Test the fact of God’s presence can do so by a living faith, and since faith itself cannot be proved by extraneous evidence
The safest course is to believe in… the law of Truth and Love
Exercise of faith will be the safest where there is a clear determination summarily to reject all that is contrary to Truth and Love
I confess that I have no argument to convince through reason, faith transcends reason
All that I can advise is not to attempt the impossible
[Mahatma Gandhi]
