In plain words
So whatever work you do, whatever thing you see, whatever task you take up, regard it all as God's work. It is not possible to see that divinity as something separate. Only when one has recognized one's own true nature does the chance to know divinity arise. When you cannot know yourself, how can you know God? A man kept up tapas to know God. He shut his eyes and sank into dhyāna. After some time God came in the form of a little cowherd boy and asked the man, ‘What are you doing?’ ‘I am doing tapas,’ said the man. ‘Why are you doing tapas?’ He asked. ‘I am doing tapas to know about God,’ he said. Again after some time the boy came and asked, ‘What have you come to know?’ Then the ascetic spoke. ‘I have come to know that it is hard to know about God,’ he said. Then the boy asked, ‘Who is there before your eyes?’ ‘Gopāla is here,’ he replied. ‘Who is Gopāla? It means one who tends the cows. That is, one who tends all living beings,’ the boy explained. ‘All this time I did tapas with my eyes shut. But I could not know the God who stood before my eyes’: so he came to see his own folly. One who cannot understand man cannot know Mādhava.
What is everywhere is the principle of God itself!
Long ago, in Uttar Pradesh, there lived a man called Mansūr. He held the firm faith: ‘God is everywhere; there is no thing in which God is not, no place where God is not, no form that is not His and no name that is not His anywhere in the world.’ He believed ‘Sarvaṃ viṣṇumayaṃ jagat.’ He kept thinking ‘Anal haqvā, anal haqvā, anal haqvā’, that is, ‘I am God, I am God, I am God.’ Many thought this fellow was mad. In his teachings he was telling the secret of Vedānta.
