Narration
Translated
Where should we seek and discover God? Bhagawan lovingly reminds us today so that we may strive to reach that state of understanding. The Vedas declared, vedahametam purusham mahantam aditya varnam tamasah parastat (The Supreme Divine, with the effulgence of the Sun, dwells beyond darkness). God is beyond tamas (darkness). He is not outside. He is within you. You are He. While he is himself the Divine, man seeks the Divine in a forest or through meditation. What folly is this? The Vedas deride man for failing to see God even while seeing Him. Pashyannapi na pashyanti mudho (The fool fails to see even while he is seeing). You must worship the living Divinity, not the lifeless. Honour every being who is in human form. See the Divine in every man. The cosmos is Vishnu swarupam (a manifestation of the Divine). God is with you, in you, and around you. He is not elsewhere. Develop this firm conviction. It is self-deception to imagine that God is somewhere away from you.

You must feel the presence of God wherever you go, whatever you may do, whether you are eating or speaking or working. When you cultivate such an attitude - that is the highest form of devotion. - BABA
