You can only unite with the infinitely great if you first touch the infinitely small. So, in order to unite with God you must begin by focusing on the cells of your body. If you think about your cells every day, about how to purify them, how to strengthen them, to illuminate them, you will gradually begin to feel that you are touching the Divinity, who is purity, strength, and light itself. One day a disciple asked his master after a meditation on the immensity of God – something he found difficult to conceive – why God was so great. And the master replied: ‘God is great because He concerns Himself with the smallest things.' This implies that those who are not prepared to concern themselves with the most humble people in life - i.e. the poor, the needy, the illiterate - will never be great. When Jesus visited the poor, the sick and even prostitutes, or when he sat children on his knee, he showed he knew this law. People who only seek the company of the rich, powerful, and educated, and who refuse contact with the lowly, will never come to know the greatness of God
