‘My Father and I are one.’ Jesus was able to make such a claim because he had done a tremendous amount of work on himself, and we too must endeavour to do this work, following his example. God lives within us, and his kingdom also exists within us. Those who know they are inseparable from the Creator see more and more clearly how to resolve their problems and act for the good wherever they go. Whereas those who feel that God is outside them are abandoned to their own resources, which are very limited. We find this work of identification with the Divinity in the Hindu practice of Jnana yoga, the yoga of self-knowledge. The yogi learns to meditate on the formula: ‘I am He’ – ‘He’ referring to the divine Principle – and pronounces it until it becomes flesh and blood in him. At this point his limited, personal self no longer exists: only ‘He’, the Lord, exists in him, and from that moment on he is able to perform miracles.
