Take a lump of salt and drop it in water. The salt dissolves soon and disappears, though we know it exists in every drop. The lump cannot be found, but we know its presence by tasting the water. Similarly, God is present everywhere, though invisible. But, He can be known by the taste. You are the taste, the Divine droplet. This is the Truth - ‘That thou Art’. A tree has a trunk covered with bark and myriad roots to feed it and hold it firm. It has branches spreading in all directions, tapering into twigs. It has millions of leaves which breathe and borrow energy from the Sun. It fulfills itself by attracting bees to fertilise the flowers into seeds. All this variety of colour, fragrance, taste, smell and softness, of strength, toughness and tenderness has emanated from one single seed. Similarly, all creation emanated from God. This is the reality. Be firm in that faith.
