To discover the presence of an all-pervading Divine in the universe, we must recognise the Divine in our daily life. Like the power of sight in the eye and the power of hearing in the ears, God manifests as consciousness in the human body. There’s no place in the world where God doesn’t exist. Creation is a manifestation of God. It is the form of God called Prakruti (Nature). Hence, man, who is a child of Nature, is inherently Divine. Man is born with divine qualities. Just as the sapling grows out of the seed, flower from the sapling and fruit from the flower, God is the seed of the entire cosmos. Man is intrinsically a combination of morality, righteousness and spirituality. Unfortunately, forgetting these basic qualities, man today is bereft of morality, righteousness and spirituality. Considering the sacredness of human birth, it is a shame that man should be so degraded today. Man is an embodiment of Sat-Chit-Aananda (Being-Awareness and Bliss) which are attributes of the Divine!
