It is strange that the man is seeking God
in the outside world - the temples, pilgrimage
centres, gurus, caves etc. The one being
sought for, is sitting right inside us. Union
with God is not possible so long as the doors
within our hearts remain shut. The human
soul and God are not far from each other in
terms of time as well as space. It is 3i1I-i —
ignorance, lack of true knowledge — which
separates them. Ignorance is the cause of
numerous sufferings, difficulties, worries and
tensions. According to Gila, one who always
feels the presence of God in his heart and
believes in God's presence in the hearts of
other creatures too, is the truly learned person,
the experiencer of God. Further says Gita:
