Who is God and how do I connect with God?

We belong to God, but maya hides Him

We are parts of God, but the veil of maya (worldly illusion) hides Him from us. God is there, even though the veil keeps us from seeing Him.

Goswami Tulsidas ji also says it: the soul is a part of God, imperishable and conscious. We are all God's own, and God is ours.
