Some religions have taught us that God is outside of his creation. They teach that the Spirit is far from us, kind of like it is on the outside looking in. But this cannot be true; would a mother give birth to a child, and then leave it in the hospital ward for its entire life, only viewing it remotely through some mirrored window? The very thought seems a bit ludicrous. We love because first cause is love. We want those we love near, because first cause is near to us. When you see the leaves gently swaying in the wind, the flowers dancing in a field or a breathtaking sunset streaked with a multitude of colors, you're seeing an expression of the Divine. When you are happy, feel love or experience the magic of a special moment; you are feeling the Divine. Now think how close the Spirit is when you utter a prayer.
