Compared to entire universe earth and its contents are like a small dot. We are nothing compared to the universe; this kind of thinking will reduce our ego. Universe and our worldly life are the expressed form of God. I have heard people questioning about the presence of mental troubles, suffering and difficulties in the world. Light and heat comes out of the sun naturally and at all the time. There can be night here on earth and it is not because of the sun. Sun continuously emits light and yet there is no light at night on parts of the earth. Day and night happen due to earth rotating in certain way. Change of season is also from the same reason. Sun does not cause day-night or seasons. We do not enjoy real happiness (ananda, આનંદ) and fail to take advantage of the grace of God. This is due to our present state of duality and gunas ( human qualities like good, bad or action oriented). We do not understand certain aspects as children but get the meaning as an adult. We can experience the divine light and ananda automatically if our understanding and present state are changed.
How can we change our present understanding and state? The first thing is to have some kind of thought, expectation and longing towards that goal. When we have a desire to perform certain work, the speed and the result depend upon the strength of the desire. Since we are in the state of duality, the works are done at that level and we fail to get the ananda, the characteristic of the divine consciousness.
