Why should we practice seeing God in ourselves and in everyone? Bhagawan lovingly points out to us today.
A
person living without love is as good as dead. You are having love
towards your father, mother, wife, children and others. There is nothing
wrong in this. But you must see God in every one of them. This is the
essence of the well-known prayer: Tvameva mata cha Pita tvameva…
This prayer addressed to the Supreme Being means - "Oh my Lord, You are
the father, mother, friend and relative. You are knowledge and wealth.
You are everything!" We should see God in every being. The whole
Universe is a manifestation of Brahman (Divinity). You are divine but you are not realising it. When you do namaskaram with folded hands in obeisance, it means that you are offering your five Karmendriyas (organs of action) and five Jnanendriyas (organs of perception) to the Divine. Offering namaskaram itself emphasises unity. If you have unity and purity, Divinity will blossom there.
