The Wise declares:
It is easy to cognise the Divinity that pervades the entire universe, but as long as man is swayed by worldly thoughts, Divinity remains unrealised and unattained. - Sai Baba
Coming in late. I don't agree with the thread title. God does talk with us but our listening is the issue. I believe Rumi said "God speaks to you through everything and everyone, but if you're listening to your own thoughts, you'll never hear it." It's only when we quiet the constant chatter of our minds and calm our cravings that the "voice" of Divinity can be heard.
