For this there are some very simple examples in the Purāṇas. Hiraṇyakaśipu searched and searched for Nārāyaṇa and concluded that He was nowhere. Prahlāda said, “Have no doubt that He is here and not there; wherever you search and look, there He is.” Wherever Prahlāda looked, He appeared to him. At last He gave darśana even in an iron pillar, where there was no room to bore a hole, nor for air to get in! Why was this? Only because Prahlāda's inward-turned understanding was near to God. The cow has pure, strengthening milk in her own udder, yet instead of drinking their own milk, cows run toward the stinking swill-water. Just so, while Mādhava dwells in man himself as the Ātma-svarūpa, man gives up the effort to know Him and scrambles after the pleasures of Prakṛti, bound up with worthless viṣaya-vāsanās. What is that but Ajñāna? To see manyness is Ajñāna; to see oneness is Jñāna. Seeing many distinctions is the vision of a corpse; the vision of the One alone is the vision of Śiva. ‘Tat’, ‘jñeya’, ‘Ātma’, ‘kṣetrajña’, ‘Parabrahman’: whichever you say, it is one and the same. This the Paramātma taught Arjuna as a matter of experience.
