How can God be seen?

"God is not an external being to be seen; it is the very essence of existence, and only when the ego dissolves do we recognize our oneness with the infinite ocean of consciousness."
According to Osho, God cannot be seen as an external person or object; there is only godliness—an infinite ocean of consciousness manifesting as all life. The true vision of God arises when the ego dies: the illusion of 'I' and 'other' dissolves, and one recognizes oneness with the whole—Tat Tvam Asi. Like a raindrop becoming the ocean, we realize we are That.
You don’t look at God like a thing; when the tight feeling of ‘me’ relaxes, you feel one with everything—that feeling is seeing God.
