Man's vision which is turned outward towards the phenomenal universe should be turned inwards towards the indwelling spirit. One should manifest the Divine consciousness inherent in him. He should submit himself to that consciousness as a spiritual discipline. This is called the conscious realization of the inner Divinity. The first step is to develop awareness of the Divinity within. The next step is to realize that the Divinity which is within oneself is equally present in all others also. One must recognize that the veil that appears to separate him from others is born of delusion and every effort should be made to remove it. Only then will it be possible to experience the oneness of all living being.
