God exists but why can't we see Him? Because He is obscured by the prakruti around us. He has become one with the prakruti. It is like the change in the characteristics of gold when used in very small quantity (for medicinal purposes). It is same with silver, mercury and poison. Even poison in very small quantities changes its characteristics and can be used as medicine. When divine consciousness enters anything it assumes the characteristics of the item that it enters in. If divine consciousness enters the tree, the characteristics of the tree becomes its characteristics. When divine consciousness enters us, it assumes the characteristics of prakruti as we are in prakruti.
If prakruti moves out, the divine consciousness reveals itself. It means the divine consciousness that is obscured (in the shape of prakruti with its characteristics) will express itself. So if the prakruti leaves, God expresses.
Divine consciousness assumed the characteristics of water in water, space in space, light in light, earth in earth. Since we are in prakruti, divine consciousness assumed characteristics of prakruti. If you want to experience divine consciousness, get free from prakruti. In old days following the yama (self control), niyam (keeping vows, restraints) and saiyam (control over senses) were mandatory. If you want to be free from prakruti, then you should follow all theses disciplines. But that is not possible for us to do in present circumstances. We do not have strength and energy for the purpose. So experienced (self realized) people showed the way of reciting and remembering God continuously and permanently. When done in this way it produces strength and energy to follow all kinds of saiyams.
