felt that his son would not be able to grasp anything at all if he tried to tell him the Truth about in words. He thought it better to teach him by example. So he brought a pot filled with water. He brought also some sugar in his hand and he showed the sugar to the son. After showing him the sugar, he put all that sugar into the water in the pot. Then he stirred the sugar till it was completely dissolved in the water and then looked at the son and asked him; “I brought the sugar with me and put it into the vessel. Can you tell me where in the vessel does the sugar lie now?” The son looked into the vessel and, of course, did not find any sugar remaining as such in the vessel. The father put a few drops of the contents of the vessel from the bottom on the tongue of the son and asked, “How do you find the taste? You can take a drop from anywhere within the vessel and taste it?” The son had to agree that sugar was there now in every drop of the contents of the vessel and that it was present everywhere in that vessel. Then the father explained saying, “Just as you have now seen this sugar being present everywhere, so also assumes the form of a , or one who has attributes, and comes into this world and resides in every being, in everything that you see around you in this world. It is not possible to see Him separately with your eyes, it is not possible to get hold of Him separately with your hands, but it is only possible to cognise Him by experiencing Him in the state of the world. You cannot do anything more with your gross body than to experience who is omnipresent and all pervading.” It is only after you have attained this rich experience that you will be in a position to talk of and give expression to the nature of God, His omnipresence, etc. It is only after such an experience will you have any claim, right and authority to talk about the omnipresence of God. Otherwise, just with mere book knowledge, to prattle like a parrot about God and His omnipresence, as if you truly know all, is childish. Only after the non-dual experience of Divinity, can you talk of or non-dualism. It is not possible in common parlance, in ordinary work that you do around yourself in the material world, to teach or to expound . When you put your finger in your mouth and take it out, you want to wash it with water. If there is so much difference between the limbs and the organs of one individual, how are we going to expound unity and oneness of the entire world? That there is only one God in all the beings of the world, in all the living things in the entire world, is something which you learn, which you can believe, in which you can build your faith, by listening to experienced people or by reading texts or by listening to our , and so on. But unless yourself have experienced it, you cannot truly convey this to others.
