Suppose you make an idol of Lord Krishna in silver. All parts of the idol are in silver. When you see the form of Krishna in the idol, you are not aware of the silver. When you want to see only the silver out of which the idol is made, the form is out of your view. Similarly, when you turn your mind towards God, who is pervading the entire Universe, the mind will be wholly filled with God, and you won't see the different forms of the objects in the world. But if the mind is directed towards worldly objects, you will fail to see the Divinity that pervades all objects.
