What is our natural condition?

The greatest disease is false pride. I will recite an example from the
Bible. Lord Jesus Christ was traveling through out Palestine Jerusalem
area spreading the pure message of love of God. His message was seeking
out the kingdom of God but the kingdom of God is within you. Ah. If you
do not understand the kingdom of God within you, you are a sick man
because you are in an unnatural condition. In Bhagavad Gita Lord Krishna
says, "mamaivamso jiva-loke jiva-bhutah sanatanah". That every living
being is part of God. All the qualities of God is within you, you are
eternal, you are full of bliss you are eternally the servant of God. In
the Upanishads it is explained nityo nityanam cetanas cetananam that
there is one supreme eternal person and there are infinite subordinate
dependent eternal persons who are we, and we are constantly depending
and under the supreme command of that one Supreme God. So this is our
natural condition to know God and to love God.
