The idea of Omnipresence, therefore of God as man, has always been uncomfortable for orthodox religions. This is not merely because it seems to them presumptuous but because there is a psychological need to have God a little distant so that there may be a conversation between Him and us. The Master's teachings accept this psychological need but place the Father within, so that the conversation is as intimate as possible.

As a follower of Truth you will have your own special way of coming close to God, but you know you are His "temple", the place where He is. Wherever you go He goes. He is the Source of all that you truly desire and achieve. You develop the habit of looking to Him first in everything. With Him all things are possible.

This is a perfectly natural and workable approach to God. "The Father Who dwells in me does His works" and I constantly make the way open for Him in my thoughts, feelings, speech and actions.
