This is a very important point for those who are persuing for spiritual life, and even it is important for our daily grasping of knowledge..
Oftentimes people ask a very pertinent question “If you show me God, then I will believe”. These kind of question may intellectually seem very thoughtful, but are actually baseless..
There is a saying “ what your mind doesn’t know your eyes cant see” or in other words our eyes can only see what our mind knows.
For example, take the example of a chemistry lab which is full of chemicals of different colors n odors. If a small kid happened to visit inside the lab, he will perceive it as some fun fare, a school going student who doesn’t have any knowledge of chemicals, will take them as modes of celebration.. Even in the faculty of chemistry also, different people like bachelor, master, n phd candidates, will have different interpretation, according to there existing fund of knowledge. And a chemical scientist may have the full knowledge about the chemical.
So, although the thing is same , but the perception is different.

Similerly, if we want to understand God, then we have to come to that level of understanding, by gradual progressive advancement in spiritual life. We rely so much on our sense of vision, that we reflexly reject things that do not fall into its range. But we must understand that, even if we see something, we will only understnd, according to our knowledge..
So, THE FIRST REQUIREMENT OF SEEING GOD IS TO DEVELOPE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT GOD..
And that can be done by reading scripture, hearing from people who have assimilated the scriptures, associating with people who have a faith in God. It is similar to the above example, if we want to know about the chemical, we have read books, hear the professors, and sit in the class with other chemistry students..
