Svetaketu asked his knowledgeable father : if God or God' power is
the cause of all this world, why do we not see Him? Why do we not feel
that ? His father replied:
Dear son, you are seeing Him and you are feeling His presence. But you
are not realizing that it is Him and his presence. Let me tell you an
example.
He took a lump of salt and asked Swetaketu to put that in a little
water in a vessel. It was night time and father said that they would
look at it in the next morning.
Next morning he asked his son to take the lump of salt from the
water. Son looked at it and said the lump was not there. So father
asked him to taste the water from the top, bottom, and sides. He
tasted and he said it was salty wherever he took the water from.
Now father said: you know the salt was dissolved. You could not
perceive the salt now with your eyes,but you could taste it. So also
in this body of ours and in everything else in this world,He is
present. But He is beyond senses and you cannot realize Him through
our senses. Even though you could not see the salt, you could feel
it's presence by taste. God's presence is felt through love, kindness,
forgiving, and all saatwic feelings.
