Everything is divine – Seeing Life Through the Eyes of the Masters
What if the ordinary world around you is not ordinary at all?
What if every breath, every face, every tree, and every star is as sacred as the holiest temple?
The Masters of the Far East, as recorded in Life and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East by Baird T. Spalding, teach a truth that changes everything: all life is divine.
They do not speak of divinity as a distant, unreachable reality. Instead, they reveal it as the living, breathing essence of everything that exists.
For them, there is no division between the sacred and the mundane — there is only God, only Infinite Life, expressing in endless forms.
Understanding this principle is more than philosophy.
It is a way of seeing that transforms how we live, how we love, and how we walk through the world.
The Masters’ Core Teaching: God Is All, All Is God
The Masters never waver on one central truth: God is the Source and Substance of all things.
This means that there is no place where God is absent, and no object or being that is not infused with divine life.
They teach that God is not simply in creation — God is creation. Every rock, bird, breeze, and human soul is made of the same divine essence.
The physical world is not a lesser reality. It is the Infinite expressing itself in visible form.
From this perspective, calling one thing “holy” and another “ordinary” makes no sense.
The Masters see a temple in a blade of grass, a cathedral in a mountain, and a living prayer in a single smile.
The Divine Presence in All Creation
The Masters often point to nature as the most immediate way to see God in all.
The silence of a snow-covered peak, the rhythm of ocean waves, the perfect design of a leaf — all speak of the same creative intelligence.
They also remind us that humanity is not separate from this divine order. Whether saint or stranger, each person carries the same spark of Infinite Life.
This is why the Masters treat all beings with deep respect — they see God looking back at them in every set of eyes.
To them, the smallest detail of existence is a miracle.
The song of a bird, the light on the water, even the breath entering your lungs — all are proof of the Divine Presence in motion.
Consciousness as the Bridge to Seeing the Divine
If everything is divine, why don’t we see it?
The Masters answer simply: it is a matter of consciousness.
They explain that most of us look at life through a lens of separation, labeling some things spiritual and others ordinary.
This is a learned habit of thought — not the truth.
By lifting our awareness, we begin to see what has always been there: the same life, the same light, the same presence in all.
This is why the Masters emphasize meditation, stillness, and inner clarity. When the mind is calm and clear, the divinity of life becomes obvious.
Why Separation Is an Illusion
The Masters describe the idea of separation as a shadow cast by ignorance. We think we are apart from God, apart from each other, and apart from the rest of creation.
But in reality, there is no “apart.” All is within the one Life.
They illustrate this with the analogy of the ocean and its waves: each wave may appear separate, but all are made of the same water.
In the same way, all forms in the universe are expressions of one infinite Source.
When you grasp this, the divisions of “high” and “low,” “holy” and “profane,” vanish. Everything — from the simplest task to the grandest ritual — becomes a sacred act.
Living in the Awareness of Universal Divinity
The Masters do not stop at theory. They urge us to live in the awareness that all is divine. This means:
Seeing the sacred in daily moments — a meal shared, a kind word, a walk in nature.
Practicing gratitude — not just for blessings we like, but for all experiences, knowing each carries purpose.
Offering respect — to all people, animals, and the earth itself, as fellow expressions of God.
They show that divinity is not something we visit on Sundays or find only in special places. It is here, now, in the very fabric of life.
The Transformative Power of Seeing All as Divine
When we accept that all is divine, something remarkable happens. Life stops feeling random or hostile. Challenges are seen as opportunities for growth.
Encounters with others become exchanges between souls, not collisions between egos.
The Masters believe this awareness is the key to peace — both personal and global. If we see the divine in all, how could we harm another?
If we know the same life flows through us all, how could we cling to fear?
Living this way is not about ignoring the world’s pain. It is about meeting it with a heart that sees beyond the surface, a heart anchored in the truth of Oneness.
Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)
Q1: Do the Masters believe only “good” things are divine?
No. The Masters teach that all is divine because all originates in the same Source. Even life’s challenges carry a higher purpose and can be transformed when we meet them with divine awareness.
Q2: How can I start seeing the divine in daily life?
Begin with gratitude. Pause to notice the beauty in small details — the warmth of sunlight, the laughter of a child, the kindness of a stranger. The more you notice, the more obvious the divine becomes.
Q3: Is this the same as saying “everything is perfect”?
Not exactly. The Masters acknowledge human suffering, but they also see that beneath appearances there is an unchanging, perfect Life that sustains all.
Q4: Can science and this view of divinity coexist?
Yes. The Masters see no conflict. Science explores how life works, while divine awareness reveals why life exists in the first place.
Q5: What changes when I truly believe all is divine?
Your relationships deepen, fear loosens its grip, and every moment feels more meaningful. Life becomes less about control and more about trust in the divine flow.
