In the lowest worm as well as in the highest human being the same divine nature is present. The worm is the lower form in which divinity has been more over shadowed by maya. That is the highest form in which it has been least over shadowed. Behind everything the same divinity is existing and out of this comes the basis of morality.((MBI, p. 243)

How can you gain this understanding of your divine nature? How can you recognize the divinity within you? It is only through steady practice, through Abhyasa; that you will acquire this realization. To acquire even the smallest skills in the world, you have to constantly practice and perfect yourself; be it reading, writing, walking or eating, all of these are developed through practice alone. If you start your practice at the first step then eventually you will be able to reach the last step. In this case, the last step means acquiring the supreme knowledge that makes you free.(DBG, p. 50)
