What if God was not outside, but within you all along?

This is the truth that Chivality reveals. God is not in some distant heaven. He is right here, inside us.
Yet, most of us spend our whole lives searching for Him outside – in temples, in books, in rituals. We look everywhere except the one place where He actually lives – within ourselves. But why don't we feel His presence there? Why does He seem so far away when He is actually so close? The answer lies in understanding the two types of space that exist within us.
Every human being has two types of space inside them – pure space and impure space. The pure space is God, the Pure Spirit. This space has no limits and is always still. The impure space is what we refer to as the mind. It is limited, full of conditions, and always restless with thoughts.
What is God as Pure Space?
Space is not just emptiness. It is living consciousness, eternal awareness, and ultimate stillness. It is the foundation of all beings and all movements. Every form, every energy, and every vibration arises from this vast, formless Space. It is completely free from all impurity, desire, and duality.
When a human being looks deeply within, a speck of this same Space is found as the background of their own consciousness. It is ever-present, but hidden behind the veil of thoughts, emotions, and personal identifications. Just as clouds hide the clear sky, the pure consciousness of God is hidden by the restless activities of the mind.

The Impure Space - The Human Mind
The mind is the impure space within us. It is the space that has been conditioned by impressions, desires, fears, and attachments. Though it too is a form of space, it is diminished and distorted by thoughts and emotions. Because of this impurity, a person perceives duality, limitation, and suffering.
The mind, filled with impurities, keeps dividing everything into good and bad, self and other, success and failure. It cannot remain in peace because it is built upon movement and reaction. The more a person identifies with this impure space, the further they move away from the natural stillness of the Pure Spirit.
God as Pure Positivity
The Pure Spirit (God/Chivam) is fully positive. In this state, there is no negativity, no duality, and no division; only pure bliss remains. All positive qualities, such as love, compassion, peace, patience, and humility, arise from this source.
The mind cannot create true positivity; it can only imitate it for a short time. When the mind is removed, positivity flows naturally, like fragrance from a flower. It is not emotional but existential, a natural expression of one’s inner divinity.
Removing the Mind – Realising God Within
To realise God is to realise the Pure Space within oneself. This realisation comes through Chivality practice — through Silentation and the remembrance of the Master — as it works to dissolve the impure space, the mind, so that the Pure Space (God) can shine forth naturally. When the mind becomes silent, thoughts lose their power, and desires and fears gradually lose their meaning, leaving pure stillness and positivity. The Master’s energy works silently within, guiding the seeker beyond the mind and into absolute stillness.
This is not the creation of something new, but the revelation of what has always been there. Imagine a pond covered with mud and dead leaves. The clean water is already beneath, but you cannot see it. Once the dirt is removed, the pure water appears. Similarly, the dissolution of the mind reveals the state of Pure Spirit, or Chivam — the condition of Nothingness and ultimate bliss.
When the seeker reaches this state, he becomes free from all limitations. He is no longer a separate being searching for God. He becomes God himself — the Pure Spirit, the speck of the infinite Space that was always within, waiting to be discovered.
