Seeing GOD in everything

We are told to see God in everything around us, be it a tree, flower, nature i.e., in anything and everything. However Guruji says "When you are saying you are seeing GOD in everything, it should be like how the Mahans or Great saints saw GOD in everything around them. What do we really mean by that?

Seeing GOD in everything is not a thing to practice and be able to do that. For example you see a thing, identify it to be that thing and then think of it as GOD. For example, say you see a beautiful flower, you first identify that as a flower and then attribute it to be a GOD. This is not a practice being able to see GOD. This is not how the Mahans saw GOD. When they see the flower spontaneously, instantly they see the GOD, they don't see a flower but see GOD in the flower. Unless and until we get that feeling of being able to see GOD in the flower we cannot claim that we are seeing GOD in everything. Radhe Radhe
