The universe is full of many powers. An omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent power pervades all of creation. This divine Force is immanent in every atom, like sugar in syrup. The Upanishads call this Raso Vai Sah or all-pervading sweetness. God is an embodiment of sweetness. Although this sweetness is everywhere, it is not possible to recognise its omnipresence. However, it is possible for all to observe the existence of Divinity. Sweetness in sugarcane, bitterness in neem leaves, burning in chilli, acerbity in lemon and fire in wood – all these are direct proofs of God’s existence. A plant germinates from a seed. A bird emerges from an egg. The newborn infant becomes a mother one day. These are all living proofs of the existence of Divinity. Man experiences exhilaration upon seeing majestic peaks, gurgling rivers, the deep ocean, lush forests and colourful gardens. What is the basis of these phenomena? It is God’s existence alone. It is not given to everyone to grasp the omnipresence of God, but all have the capacity to identify His presence. – Summer Showers, May 30, 1995.
