God is there but why cannot we see Him? The reason is, He has assumed the form of Prakruti and is being covered with its layers. If you make matra (minuscule quantity) of gold its property is changed. Same goes for mercury, silver and poison. If you make calx of the poison, its characteristics are also changed. So there is Chetan (divine consciousness, God), but it assumes the characteristics of whatever form it takes. If the Chetan is in the tree, the characteristics of the tree became the characteristics of the Chetan. Similarly, characteristics of the Chetan became the prakruti's characteristics.
If the prakruti moves away, the characteristics of the Chetan are revealed. So the Chetan is in the mould of prakruti. If the prakruti leaves Chetan is revealed.
Chetan assumes the characteristics of water in water, space (sky) in space, light in light, and earth (physical) in earth. We are in prakruti so Chetan has the natural qualities of prakruti. If you want to experience the characteristics of Chetan, be free from prakruti.
