and you are able to see that Self as the only Reality behind you and all that exists.
You Can See God!
Lord Jesus asserts, “For they shall see God.” But does this mean that we can perceive God the way we perceive a candle ame, a table, chairs, a cake, or Christmas gifts? Can we touch God? Can we talk to God? Can God be seen? The fact is that God is not a form of speculation, but can be seen by the inner intuitive eye with a directness of perception that is unknown in the world of objects.
God can be seen directly, but the mind must rst be puri ed. When the mind is puri ed intuition unfolds, linking itself to every sense within you. When you look into the sky with the naked eye you see nothing but a blue sky; but when you look through a telescope you see the vastness of space. Similarly, if you place before your eyes the telescope of intuitive vision, you will nd God before you. Then you can touch God, you can see God, you can talk to God, you can walk with God, and you can become one with God. The Saints and Sages have given testimony to this fact. In all countries, Saints and Sages did not just philosophize about the existence of God; they actually had the awareness of oneness with God. Therefore, “Blessed are the pure in heart”—for they who have acquired that type of purity will have the vision of God.
