Seeing God Everywhere

 

Once we are able to identify as an immortal soul and thus see divinity within ourself, it becomes possible to see it within everyone we meet. One practice to accomplish this is to look deeply into the eyes of another person. Look beyond the personality, go deeper than his or her intellect and see the pure life energy, which is God. This is described by the phrase “God is the Life of your life.” This practice does not need to stop with people but can also include seeing the life energy in trees, birds and animals as God. A verse from the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad states: “He who knows God as the Life of life, the Eye of the eye, the Ear of the ear, the Mind of the mind, he indeed comprehends fully the Cause of all causes.”
