If you enquire deeply, you can visualise God in every being and in every material. Any Padartha (matter) should not be looked upon as mere Padartha. It should be considered as Parartha (the essence of Divinity). There is a gulf of difference between Padartha and Parartha. Padartha corresponds to worldly matter, whereas Parartha is transcendental divine principle. Since Padartha is viewed as mere matter and not as Parartha. Its value is demeaned. We attach value to that which has no real value. On the other hand, we do not value that which has to be valued most. The mind is responsible for all this. Hence, we have to purify the mind and focus it on Divinity. When the mind is focused on Divinity, our Tejas also increases.
Consider food as Parartha (God) and not mere Padartha (matter). Take care that food that you eat helps to maintain good health. Do not consume stale food. It is like poison. (DD on 13.10.2002 , p. 6)
