"How can I have the vision of God?" Oh simpleton! You don't need to search for God. Wherever you see, He is there. He is imbued in every object. You are unable to see Him because you are deluded by external appearances. Pashyati Iti Pashuhu (that which goes purely by external vision is an animal). Whatever you see, whatever you experience is but the manifestation of God. In fact, you are God yourself. Hence, the Veda exhorts man to develop faith that "I am God and God is none other than myself." Names and forms are many, but God is one.
