Just Noticing Is Enough

Today, I would like to introduce
a passage from the Bhagavad Gita
that I love very much.

Every time I read these words,
my heart feels at ease.

God is
not a being who is far away,
nor is it a being you have to go somewhere to find.

It is just that
in our busyness and anxiety,
we sometimes forget that presence.

At such times, I close my eyes,
focus on my breathing,
and softly call out the name.

Then, rather than God coming closer,
I am able to realize,
“You have been by my side all along.”

That is why today, too,
I call your name.
To remember
that you are by my side.
