The truth of truths consists in the fact that everywhere whatever we see, whatever we experience, whatever we feel is nothing but God Himself. Seen from the standpoint of spiritual experience, even those conditions, things, which seem to be diametrically opposed to the nature of God, are God Himself. From the standpoint of the experience of God as the Infinite, the world does not consist of a diversity of things. There is only one Thing, the marvellous, indescribable, all-creative, all-beautiful Consciousness. This infinite, absolute Consciousness called God, who alone is the One without a second, can be experienced, but not by the physical senses.
Physical senses are capacitated to experience a physical world. Can we touch the feelings of any person with our hand? Can we see the thoughts in the mind of someone else, through the physical eyes? Certainly not. Physical senses experience purely a physical and material world. In order to know the feelings in another heart, we have to use the capacities of our emotional being and the heart within us. In order to know the kind of thoughts that would be crossing another individual, we have to use the psychological capacities in us. In order to experience God everywhere, or in order to experience the world and the many things as they are in themselves, in their essential being, the physical senses and capacities are of no avail, nor will our psychological and emotional capacities and powers be in a position to assist us experience it. Mind is helpless to behold the face of God, and any power that is in the mind is therefore also incapable of helping us either seeing God or seeing the world and the universe as they are in themselves.
Therefore, the only capacity that could help us experience God everywhere, is the higher Consciousness in us. By Consciousness, we have to see God. With the Consciousness that is liberated from the limitations of the physical senses and the mind, we have to behold, experience, God everywhere. By the Self in us, by the Consciousness in us, by the God in us, we see God everywhere, the Self everywhere, the Consciousness everywhere.
God, who is absolute, can be seen in His absoluteness only by God in us. God can be known only by God in us. God is to be known by experience of God, and God can be experienced only by God in us.
A limited sense, an instrument of knowledge that is limited in its power, cannot have an experience of the Unlimited. Our five senses are limited. Our mind is limited. Therefore, the senses and the mind can report to us only of a world which is itself limited. All the realities that lie beyond the means and the capacities of these physical and mental senses in us, escape our notice and our experience.
