When man realizes the non-existence (lack of constancy) of all places, time, actions, things, persons, states, circumstances, incidents etc.,  only  God (Divinity,  Tattva) exists.  The Self itself inheres God.  Therefore, God (tattva) is never distinct from us,  nor are we distinct from Him.   God is never absent,  He will never be non-existent,  and He […]
