The practice of inner contemplation gradually enables us to see God's glory outside. The tenth chapter of the Bhagavad Gita prescribes the contemplation of God in nature. Wherever there is any manifestation of power or excellence, whether in a mountain or in a tree or in a human being, the Gita teaches us to see the presence of God in that object. This can be another search, the search for God in nature. But it is better that this search be done after we have progressed a little in trying to experience God within ourselves.
