Acts: 17:27 “That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though He be not far from every one of us:”  JUDAISM: 2 Chronicles: 2:6 “The heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain Him.” Jeremiah: 23:23 “Am I a God at hand, saith The LORD, and not a God afar off?” Jeremiah: 23:24 “Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith The LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith The LORD.” Psalms: 139:8 “If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.” Psalms: 139:9 “If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;” Psalms: 139:10 “Even there shall thy hand lead me.”

(The Qur’an (Yusuf Ali tr), Surah   2)

 53. “Soon will We show them Our Signs in the (furthest) regions (of the earth), and in their own souls, until it becomes manifest to them that this is the Truth. Is it not enough that thy Lord doth witness (is cognizant of) all things?”

(The Zend-Avesta, Avesta – Yasnas 33 and 57)

 HINDUISM: “Brahma (God), who is One, The Only, All-pervading;” “Of Thy perfections! Space Star-sprinkled, and void place From pole to pole of the Blue, from bound to bound, Hath Thee in every spot, Thee, Thee!– Where Thou art not, O Holy, Marvelous Form! is nowhere found!”

(Hindu, Bhagavad Gita (Edwin Arnold tr) chapters 3 and 11)

 1. “He (Brahma/Vishnu/God) is inconceivable, without form, deep, covered, Blameless, Unfathomable, without (physical) qualities (or form); The Pure One, The Brilliant (All Intelligent) One, He Who is not caused, A Master-Magician, The Omniscient: (The All Knowing and The All Wise One), The Mighty One, The Immeasurable One, One Who is without beginning or end; The Blissful, Unborn (Uncreated One), The All Wise, Indescribable, Creator of all things (The Creator of the universe), The Self found within All things, The Enjoyer of All Things, The Ruler of All Things, The Center of the Center of All Things.”

(Hinduism, Upanishads vol. 2, Maitrayana-Brahmaya-Upanishad)

 BUDDHISM: “Of all that is created, you know the Uncreated, Holy One.” For He exists everywhere in creation and yet is above all creation.

(Buddhist, Dhammapada – Sayings of the Buddha 2 (tr. J. Richards))

 SABEANISM: “Thou art enduring, First Life (Haiyi/God) before Whom no being had existence, Unearthly One from worlds of light, Supreme Being that art above all works, above the Ancient Radiance and above the First Light; above the life which emanated from Life.” Found everywhere and yet invisible to the naked eye. “Good is the Good for the good, and His nature is set upon those who love His name. We will seek and find, speak and be heard. We have sought and found, have spoken and been heard in Thy presence, my lord, Manda-d-Hiia!” (Sabeanism, Ginza Rba – chapters 48 and 72)

 “Praised be The First Life (Haiyi, Qadmaiyi/God), praised be the Word of the First Life: praised be that radiance, light and glory; praised be that Light which is boundless and endless,” and everywhere. (Sabeanism, Ginza Rba – chapter 58)

 BABI RELIGION: “DO men imagine that We are far distant from the people of the world? Nay, the day We cause them to be assailed by the pangs of death they shall, upon the plain of Resurrection, behold how The Lord of Mercy and His Remembrance were near. For verily the Remembrance of God appeared before us, behind us, and on all sides, yet we were, in very truth, shut out as by a veil from Him.”

(The Bab, Selections from the Writings of the Bab, p. 46)

BAHA’I FAITH: “When a man turns his face to God he finds sunshine everywhere.” “Ye are the abundant grace of God‘s oneness that is shed upon the essences of all created things.”

(Bahá’í Faith, Abdu’l-Baha, Selections from the Writings of Abdu’l-Baha, p. 266 and Paris Talks, p. 15)

“It behoveth the people of truth that the signs of humility should shine upon their faces, that the light of sanctity should radiate from their countenances, that they should walk upon the earth as though they were in the presence of God and distinguish themselves in their deeds from all the dwellers of the earth.” “He is the First and the Last; the Seen and the Hidden; and He knoweth all things!” “There is no God save Him, and that every man may thereby win his way to the summit of realities, until none shall contemplate anything whatsoever but that he shall see God therein.”

(Bahá’í Faith, Baha’u’llah, Gems of Divine Mysteries and The Seven Valleys, p. 1)
