feeling of God's presence in such a polluted
environment? Words of Saint Tulsi Das are
enlightening : 'Only those persons achieve Me
whose hearts are clean', says God.
One can feel God's presence in his heart
when noble sentiments —fi — dominate,
mind and heart are clean and pure, true
knowledge and sense of discretion and
renunciation are wide awake, and soul attains
self-realisation. The experience is bright light
and pure delight. God is subject to experience.
Many a thing in the world does exist but is
not visible, e.g. air, cold, heat, hunger, thirst
etc. Similarly, God is not visible and is realised
through experience only. Lord Shri Krishna
tells Arjuna repeatedly : "Know the true God!'
He always resides in the temple of heart. You
will find him there only. Turn inwards. Road to
'realising God is straight and even through
true knowledge, pure deeds, and sincere
worship.
