ShareThe palms of the Lord are everywhere. Whatever is offered to Him, good or bad, He receives. Scriptures say that the ordinary human beings of the world use their power of discrimination before they decide upon what to receive and what not to receive when offered. They accept only that which they like and reject that which they do not like. Uttama purusa on the other hand, do not accept anything from anyone. But Parama Purusa is entirely different from these two groups. He makes no discrimination whatever and accepts all that is offered to Him.
Once Lord Buddha asked the man, "Suppose you give something to somebody which he accepts; then the ownership of the thing is transferred to the receiver, isn't it?" The man agreed. The Lord continued, "And if the man rejects the offering, will not the thing be returned to its owner?" The man again agreed. Lord Buddha concluded, "All the words given by you have not been accepted by me!"
But the Lord (Parama Purusa) has His palms ever ready to accept all that is offered by His children anywhere in the world. The palms of human beings are so small -- they can receive and contain so little. But the palms of the Lord are large enough to receive any quantity from all His children at the same time.
The Lord's feet are also everywhere. There is no place which is inaccessible to Him. The Lord is everywhere. His eyes are even in a closed room where one may consider himself or herself alone. The story goes that once Sri Ramakrishna Paramahansa gave a pigeon to Swami Vivekananda asking him to kill the bird in a place where he was alone. At the end of the day Swami Vivekananda returned along with the living pigeon and reported to Sri Ramakrishna that he could not find himself alone anywhere because wherever he went he found a pair of eyes -- the Lord's -- watching him.
