यो मां पश्यति सर्वत्र सर्वं च मयि पश्यति | तस्याहं न प्रणश्यामि स च मे न प्रणश्यति।। For those who see Me everywhere and see all things in Me, I am never lost, nor are they ever lost to Me.                 -Bhagwad Gita,Chapter 6,Verse 30. (Revision) Bottom line:One who believes that God resides in every person and every object shall behave in an ethical manner.Every challenge is an opportunity given by the divine force to perform.How we respond is our call. To unite the mind with God is to learn to see everything in its connection with him. For example, let us say that someone hurts us. It is the nature of the mind to develop sentiments of resentment, hatred, etc. toward anyone who harms us. However, if we permit that to happen, then our mind comes away from the divine realm, and the devotional union of our mind with God ceases. Instead, if we see the Supreme Lord seated in that person, we will think, “God is testing me through this person. He wants me to increase the virtue of tolerance, and that is why he is inspiring this person to behave badly with me. But I will not permit the incident to disturb me.” Thinking in this way, we will be able to prevent the mind from becoming a victim of negative sentiments.
