God is Omnipresent

 

Q17: Swami!  Scriptures declare that God is omnipresent; God is everywhere.  Kindly explain this aspect of Divinity?  How are we to understand this?

Bhagawan: The Bhagavad Gita says, "bijam mam sarvbhutanam", God is the seed of this entire creation.  God is the seed of all beings."  For example, you see here a mango seed.  You sow it in the ground.  The seed, as days pass, germinates.  In the process, the seed produces a root, then a stem, a leaf, branches and flowers gradually.  The seed is latent in every part of the plant, as all parts directly or indirectly emerge from it.  Finally, in the hard seed of the fruit also the initial or the original seed is present.  So God is present in the entire universe.  The whole world is a tree, God is the seed and fruits are the beings or creatures born of the tree of the world
