Men in their ignorance ask the question "if God is omnipresent and all pervasive, why is He not visible to us? When the sun shines, clouds that are formed by the Sun's heat hide the rays of the Sun. When the Sun is not visible because of the clouds, can you say that there is no Sun? When a strong wind blows, the clouds are dispelled and the Sun is visible again. Similarly, when the winds of love and faith blow, the clouds of doubt and egoism are scattered and God reveals HIMSELF. Though God is omnipresent, man's lack of faith and his self conceit prevent him from seeing God. To get rid of this doubting nature and egoism, certain spiritual disciplines have to be observed.
