Divinity Is Experienced!

The divinity is the same in all. God is everywhere. Once, a disciple asked a sage about this. The sage asked him to get a cup of water and some sugar. He asked the disciple to mix the sugar with the water.

Then he could not see the sugar, which was dissolved in the water, nor could he feel the sugar with his hand. But he was sure he had himself put it in the water. In order to know the truth of its existence in water, he was asked to taste a little of that water when he could experience the sweetness of sugar. It was pervading in the entire quantity of water. In the cosmic context, the Atma (Soul) is the sugar which is present in every being.

Just as sugar cannot be seen or felt while in water, you are not able to see or feel the Soul. Sugar has no form in the water. So also the Atma or Parmatma cannot be seen, but has to be experienced.
