Once a person came to Me and argued that there was no God and he was not 
prepared to believe in one. Well. I asked him, "Have you faith at least in 
yourself? Which is your self? Your self is God. You have faith in your 
judgement, your intelligence, your ability, because God within you tells you 
not to falter or fear. That assurance wells from within, from your basic truth, 
which is otherwise called God. It does not matter if you do not call it God; it 
is enough if you believe in Yourself; that is the real test of theism," I told 
him.

I say the same thing to you also. The body is the temple of God; in every body, 
God is installed, whether the owner of the body recognises it or not. It is God 
that inspires you to good acts, that warns you against the bad. Listen to that 
voice. Obey that voice and you will not come to any harm. A lady wept that her 
necklace was lost or stolen; she searched everywhere and become inconsolably 
sad. Then, when she passed across a mirror, she found the lost necklace around 
her neck. It was there all the time. Similarly, God is there, as the inner 
dweller whether you know it or not.
