[Advaita-l] Omnipresence

[Kaushik Chevendra]

Shruthi also says that the atman(isvara according to dvaita) should be seen
everywhere. If there exists a difference isvara cannot be seen everywhere.
Many smriti also says one attains liberation only upon seeing the
omnipresent atman everywhere and in everyone.
