For me, finding God is simple. When I peel away the layers of the onion of  the self and find there’s nothing at the center, all that’s left is God. 

 I can’t find the direct quote, but he said something like, we don’t have to do anything to experience our true nature, the problem is that people try to do nothing. 
I spent decades trying to do meditation. Liberation comes when one simply rests in stillness. The inner eye  opens and one sees as unconditionally open, boundless awareness.
