Presence

The Prophet said that God has said, "I cannot be contained in hallowed places. Heaven and earth cannot hold Me. But I am contained by true hearts. If you seek Me, search in those hearts."

Rumi

What a marvelous paradox! God cannot be contained or limited by physical space or by the rational mind, but can be "contained" in our hearts. As humans we are limited by our physical boundaries, our "skin encapsulated egos", and we are prone to limit God accordingly. Yet He has given us the tool in the form of the kardia to directly experience Him if we awaken our spiritual senses instead of relying on the physical senses.
