Brahman is before all things. It fills the whole universe. Nothing compares to its purity. In all the heavens, in the celestial worlds, from the far reaches of the earth, it fills every nook and cranny. It fills all this space at once. It touches all and abides in all. It cannot be soiled by clay. It cannot be carried away by flood. Simultaneously, it is before us and behind us. Simultaneously, it is to our right and to our left. Simultaneously, it is above and below. As soon as we begin to be aware of it, we forget it. But as soon as we forget it, it comes within the ken of our consciousness … When we try to realize it, it cannot be realized. When we try to leave it, it cannot be left. We are connected with Brahman forever, and nothing can break this connection.

(Ramdasa)
