I really like the metaphor of God/love being like a ray of light. Within that metaphor, an entity can only see the light and/or feel its warmth by providing some sort of obstacle to it. In this case the obstacle is being a human in what Nisargadatta Maharaj called “the food body”. The food body is a particle of dust that can absorb the ray, see its brightness and feel its warmth. Following the metaphor, there is no obstacle within the absolute. That ray of light exists within the absolute, and it is possible for an entity to be with it, but there is no obstacle to it, the love or God simply is. Either way, it is a glorious experience!
