A. Those who think that God is not outside but inside, they are as wrong as those who believe that God is not inside but outside. Really speaking, God is inside and outside both. But in the beginning it is most necessary to begin by believing in the God outside. Because from our childhood we have learned everything from outside. By looking at the eyes of the others we say that is the eye. Everything that we learn from outside we see in ourselves, but we have always learned outside. So even to learn to see God we must begin to see God outside. The Creator, the Judge, the Knower of all things, the Forgiver. And when we have understood Him better, then the next step is to see the God within; that completes. Then that God which we have seen outside, we find inside; that completes the worshipping. But if we only found Him outside then we are the worshippers, but we are separate from Him, and there is no communion. And the purpose is the communion.
