God-Realisation is Axiomatic
As worldly things are not with us, we have to go to them or bring them to us or change them or develop them before enjoying them. With God it is different because He is ever present everywhere. We handicap ourselves in God- Realisation because we have turned our attention from Him to the impermanent and transient worldly things. Therefore, accept Him as omnipresent particularly in ourselves and do not consider the body, the mind, the senses, the intellect and the other worldly things as ours. By doing so, you will be able to behold Him in everything and everywhere.
The Lord has declared in the Gita- `Yo maam pashyati sarvatra' (6/30) "He sees Me (the Universal Self) present in all beings". 'Mayaa tatamidam sarvam' (9/4) "All this is permeated by Me", ishwarah sarva bhutaanaam hridesherjun tishthati' (15/15) "God dwells in the heart of all" `hridi sarvasya visthitam (13/17).
God exists in all creatures, men, women, birds and animals. etc., without any distinction of caste, creed and colour. He is the disinterested friend of all. He is calling and pulling everyone to Him. How does one know this? It is our experience that God does not let us stay in anyone situation or condition. You may have your attachment with any worldly thing but God does not let it remain so with anyone. Accordingly, He is ever-changing our bodily development, our childhood, our youth and old age. By precept, He is conveying His message through sacred books and saints, and by example He is ever-changing our situations and circumstances. Thus, He is making you to come toward Him by renouncing the world — because it is not ours, He is ours, and we are His.
Question — Does God exist in that which is seen, or that which is seen is God Himself? Which of the two is correct?
Answer — Both are correct. If you accept both, Nature and Man (God and power) then God exists in the world. But if you accept only God, then God only exists. You can accept either of the two according to your belief. However, the belief that whatever is seen is God seems somewhat difficult because whatever is seen is changing every moment, but God is unchanging. This may appear doubtful. Therefore, it can be accepted that God exists in the world. There are not only two choices but there can be other choices, also— either to accept God in the world, to consider the world as God, or regard the world as God's own. The result is the same. But it seems somewhat easy to accept that God exists in all. And it is even easier to consider that the whole world belongs to God and He is its Master. By accepting it as such let us serve all others. The only thing is that we should have God-Realisaiion as our objective then all will be well.
