Just want to share with you a real life story that one
The teacher said one boy in 2nd grade suddenly asked her "You say God is there. Then why can't I see him?"
She was kind of stumped by that question and was trying to think of an answer.
Suddenly another boy raised hand and said "Teacher I know the answer, can I tell?"
She said "Go ahead". Here is the conversation that took place between them.
Boy 1 (original question): You say God is there then why can't I see him?
Boy 2: You can't see him because he is hiding.
Boy 1: Why is he hiding?
Boy 2: Just for Play!
Boy1: If he is hiding then how can I find him?
Boy 2: He is playing 'hide and seek', silly! You have to 'seek him' to find him.
Boy 1: Where exactly is he hiding?
Boy 2: Everywhere. In that plant, in me, in you.
Boy 1: Then where can I seek him?
Boy 2: Seek in yourself silly, which is closest to you. Why would you want to seek somewhere else when you can find him in yourself?
Boy 1: OK, got it.
Well said: The fundamental truth of the mahàvàkya—Tat tvam asi or Aham brahmàsmi is that I am not the small limited entity encased in this body and the mind. I have infinite possibilities to manifest. But how is it that I do not know that I am the Infinite, that I am the omniscient?
