The All-Pervading Character of God
English Translation · I.P. 214
WHAT manner of faith shall we offer; what single thing is fit to present you ? You fill all and lie beyond all; you are present in our bodily form, whether wc speak, eat, taste, or smell. IIow shall we control our organs, and sort out merit and guilt? What ceremonies or deeds shall wo perform ? Where is the scene where you are not present? What do I gain by closing my eyes? What spell or charm shall I utter ? Where shall we place our faith? Where is the spot in which you are not ? Whither shall we turn ? Where shall we set our feet ? There is no spot known to us that is void of thee; how can I search for such a place ? Tuka says, Nothing but thy name shall be to us worship, liturgy, rosary, incense, lamp, fruits, betelnut, flowers and water !
