Question: Why can't I see God inside me?
Sri Chinmoy: You can see God inside you. But you can't see Him right now because you are not crying and trying to see Him. If you don't ask for something from your mother, she won't give you anything. If you do ask for something, your mother will always give it to you. So if you want to see God, it is best to look for Him. If you look for Him, then only will you see Him.
God is like the most beautiful jewel that is inside your heart-room. If you search for it, then immediately you will find it. Do not just look quickly into your room and say that God is not there. Try to feel that He is there. Once you really look for Him, definitely you will see Him.
