THINKING OF GOD

"Whenever you think of God, He thinks of you."  This sounds like it is from Meister Eckhart, except that it is from Swami Prabhavananda.  The statement would not be unusual in Christianity, but when it is made in Vedanta it has a special meaning. 

God in Christianity is a supernatural, supreme being, who is separate from creation.  God in Vedanta is also supernatural and supreme but is not a being, and is not separate from creation. 

God, "Brahman" in Vedanta, is everything.  There is nothing that is not Brahman.  Therefore, when Prabhavananda says "Whenever you think of God, He thinks of you," what he is really saying is, "Whenever you think of God, everything thinks of you."
