Feeling the World as God

The essential thing in religion is making the heart pure; 
the Kingdom of Heaven is within us, but only the pure in heart can see the King. 
While we think of the world, it is only the world for us; 
but let us come to it with the feeling that the world is God, and we shall have God. 

This should be our thought towards everyone and everything -- parents, children, husbands, wives, friends, and enemies. 
Think how it would change the whole universe for us if we could consciously fill it with God! See nothing but God! 
All sorrow, all struggle, all pain would be for ever lost to us!
