Divinity is present in a subtle form as consciousness...

“Like oil in the dil seed,
like butter in milk, fragrance in a flower,
juice in a fruit, fire in wood,
Divinity is everywhere.

Just as the power of sight
is present in the eye, the
power of hearing in the ear,
the sense of taste in the tongue,

Divinity is present in a subtle form
as Consciousness (Chaithanya) .
Remaining invisible in the phenomenal world,
the form of the Supreme Self , which
sustains everything like the thread in a garland of gems.”
