Even in rags I am a god, fallen I am divine, high I triumph when down-trod, long I live when slain! Sri Aurobindo
Divinity is my true identity! What does this mean? Does this mean that I am not just a mother, wife, daughter, my past, mistakes, material success or the lack thereof, or the person that lives at the end of the street? Definitely yes! Most of us hear the words “you are made in the image and likeness of God” and in our hearing we think that because we have grasped it intellectually that we have experienced what this statement means on all levels of our being. We may have technical book knowledge and agree with the statement even claiming this truth in the moment without the light of experiential knowledge. We may also have experiences of being a spiritual being and yet, understanding says that this experience of God and our Divinity Identity is much more that just intellectually memorizing a principle, knowing the right words and even just having a few spiritual experiences. The true experience of knowing our Divine Nature lies in the death of who we think we are, who we think God is and what we think reality is.
