It goes like this: "If you can't see God in all, you can't see God at all." It sounds kind of cool, it rhymes, it makes sense, but the meaning is very, very deep. The thing is - God is everywhere - in the things we love the most, the activities we enjoy the most, in people we adore, yes, and God is all the other stuff, the stuff we don't like so much. God is politics, God is bad news, God is scary videos about savage hunting methods of innocent animals.
It's so easy to sit up on our pedastals, looking down on anyone who is engaged in an activity we personally don't appreciate and judge them as jerks. But then, that would be not seeing God in all, wouldn't it, and then we would have to question our ability to see God at all.
Life is a struggle. We have lots of things to help us deal with it - religion, science, spirituality, meditation, yoga, prayer...and that's only the short list. But when the tools of right action turn into self-congratulating means to lord out our judgment over everyone else - we miss the point.
Blessings.
