It is possible to get hold of each one of these diverse, so-called objects, and by wise inquiry, or by devotion (you can adopt any path you like) to see through the object and say, "If God is omnipresent, he must be there inside this. If God dwells in our hearts, he is there in this person; if God dwells in everything, he must be in this glass of water." Can I approach each one of these objects, still regarding them as objects, with surrender, with devotion, with wisdom, with knowledge and with understanding? God is infinite, God is omnipresent, so even this must be divine; if there is a suspicion, or an idea, or a thought, or notion within me that it is not so, it is because of a deficiency in me, not the object. If I am not able to see God in this man, it is not because this omnipresent God suddenly disappeared from that particular spot.
There is something wrong in the so that I cannot read the fine print. It is not because the fine print is not clear, but because my eyesight is not good. Therefore I must rectify that, instead of trying to manipulate the outside world. So if I bow down to this man too, it is possible that one of these days, true knowledge will arrive; someday the heart will be purified and the truth will be seen. Then one day I am bound to look into the mirror and suddenly see God there are also — that is the end of the journey.
