When God is reflected as Nature, the reflection becomes Maya.
You cannot be fresh and feeling fine, wearing a washed vest under an unwashed shirt; or, an unwashed vest over a washed shirt. Both have to be clean, to provide a sense of tingling joy. So too outer and inner cleanliness is but the reflection of the inner achievement.
God has no preferences and prejudices; His is but reaction, reflection and resound.
The pure heart is the best mirror for the reflection of Truth. So all these disciplines are for the purification of the heart. As soon as it is pure, all truths flash upon it in a minute.
Every action of yours at the present time is bound to have a reaction, resound and reflection in the future.
