A person who is standing close to me may be thinking that Swami is far
away from him. We can examine this statement on the basis of the laws of
physics. If the distance from a person to me is small, the distance from me to
that person cannot be different and larger.
Similarly if I hit a piece of wood, I say that I have hit the pieceof
wood but that is not all. The piece of wood has also hit me equally hard. This
is in the nature of a reaction. It can never be that the reaction is unequal to
the action.
In the same manner, in the spiritual aspect as well, there is no question
of your thinking that you are going close to God and that God is going away
from you, or your thinking that God is keeping at a distance in spite of your
getting closer to Him. As close you are to God, so close is God to you. If you
understand this truth, then you will realise that God is everywhere. There is
no such thing as God being far away from you when you are close to God.
Individuals who recognise the truth in this statement and realise that God is
omnipresent will recognise that God is close to them.
