Conversations with Sai - Facing God

 

H: Swami speaks of "facing" God.  Please explain.

Sai: When two people face each other, each enters the eye of the other, and they are different only in name and form.  Otherwise, they are the same.  So it is important to face God directly and be one with Him.  That is why one naturally closes the eyes in a temple, so as to use the eye of wisdom instead of the physical eye.
