Where can we discover the footprints of the Lord? What are the obstacles we must overcome in this quest?

 The butter the Lord covets is the fruit of yoga, final product of churning of the mind by viveka (discrimination). He loves to feast on it; moves away with it into the solitude of self-realisation. We too can discover the Lord through His footprints; it can be discovered everywhere, provided sincere search is made with trained eyes. You can find His footprints wherever there is beauty, virtue, humility, justice, truth, love and peace! The eye must be trained to discover the footprints of God; in this process, the mind has to be mastered. The mind is the pivot of thoughts and feelings. The mind is the thinking aspect of Brahmam, Absolute Consciousness. The Absolute Self manifesting itself in imaginative activity is the mind. However, instead of turning towards the Absolute, it turns outward and starts using senses as its instrument; forgetting its source, the Atma. How and why this happens is inexplicable; we know this happens, and it can be avoided and prevented!
