Through selfless work, love of God grows in the heart. Then through his grace one realize him in course of time. God can be seen. One can talk to him as I am talking to you.
RAMAKRISHNAThat is very good. But never get into your head that your faith alone is true and every other is false. Know for certain that God without form is real and that God with form is also real.
