call upon the vision of divinity
ਵਡਹੰਸੁ ਮਹਲਾ ੩ ॥ ( ਅੰਗ 560)
ਹਉਮੈ ਨਾਵੈ ਨਾਲਿ ਵਿਰੋਧੁ ਹੈ ਦੁਇ ਨ ਵਸਹਿ ਇਕ ਠਾਇ ॥
ACIM - T-1.VI.2
A sense of separation from God is the only lack you really need correct. This sense of separation would never have arisen if you had not distorted your perception of truth, and had thus perceived yourself as lacking. The idea of order of needs arose because, having made this fundamental error, you had already fragmented yourself into levels with different needs. As you integrate you become one, and your needs become one accordingly. Unified needs lead to unified action, because this produces a lack of conflict.
DU - Renard (44)
In fact, it is with this idea of separation, and all that arises from it, that you sentence yourself to continue in the universe of bodies.
The feeling of separation leaves an emptiness in us. It is this emptiness that we’re trying to fill.
Yet, at the same time, when doing spiritual practices, we may at times find it hard to be in Love or Birha.
I think we can use this unconscious, deep seeking in our practice. Ultimately, the emptiness or the hole in our being is the shape and form of the Deity. When practicing Naam Jaap, Nitnem, or any other practices, address them to this space, this feeling of the God. This is the friend, this is the Guru.
