The nearer we approach God, the more do we begin to see that
all things are in Him.
When the soul succeeds in appropriating the bliss of
this supreme love, it also begins to see Him in everything.
Our heart will thus
become an eternal fountain of love.
And when we reach even higher states of
this love, all the little differences between the things of the world are
entirely lost; man is seen no more as man, but only as God;
the animal is seen
no more as animal, but as God;
even the tiger is no more a tiger, but a
manifestation of God.
Thus in this intense state of Bhakti, worship is offered
to every one, to every life, and to every being.
एवं सर्वेषु
भूतेषु भक्तिरव्याभिचारिणी |
कर्तव्या पण्डितैर्ज्ञात्वा सर्वभूतमयं हरिम् || --
"Knowing
that Hari, the Lord, is in every being, the wise have thus to manifest
unswerving love towards all beings."
- Swami Vivekananda,
Bhakti-Yoga
