We worship You. Who is this “we”? One part is me, and in addition to me, there are the other people in society. “We” consists of all human beings, not just the world’s monotheists. Even those who are not monotheists worship God too. As we mentioned earlier, their inner nature worships God. Their inner subconscious is God’s servant and worships God. We can extend this circle even further and consider it to include the entire universe. That is, the entire universe and all places are the sanctum where God is worshiped. I, everything in the world, and all living and non-living things worship You. What this means is that every particle in the world is worshiping the Lord. If a person reaches the stage where they feel this, they have reached a very high level of worship. They hear this song of monotheism from all of nature. This is a reality. I hope that when we worship God, we will reach the stage where we can comprehend these realities.
