WHERE IS GOD?

Vedanta teaches that God is not "out there" somewhere, but rather, as Jesus said, "The Kingdom of God is within."  In the words of Swami Prabhavananda, "Never for one moment are we separated from God.  God is within us always." 

The task of the spiritual aspirant is to awaken to God.  By way of spiritual practice (sadhana), to include meditation and devotion, an atmosphere is created whereby, as it is described, the Atman can awaken to Brahman.  What makes it a profound experience is that the Atman IS Brahman, or as Jesus said, "I and my Father are one."
