WHAT IS LEFT?

Swami Prabhavananda asked, "Take away God, and what is left?"  By "take away God," he was referring to our living exclusively as our egoic selves with no regard for God.  Ironically, never for one instant are we without God, Prabhavananda noted, for the Atman in each of us is God.  But what is left when we ignore God?  Hollowness is left, going through the motions only is left, walking in the dark is left.
