Man may most justly be called the seed of God. God the Infinite, most conscious within Himself, embraces His nature full of variety, in this way He is one and He is all. The whole manifestation is just like a tree sprung from the divine root. Nature is like its stem, and all the aspects of nature are like the branches, the leaves, the fruit, and the flowers, and from this tree again the same seed is produced - the human soul - which was the first cause of the tree. This seed is man, his spirit, and as God constitutes the whole universe within Himself, being single, so man constitutes within himself the whole universe, as His miniature. Therefore neither can God be anything other than what He is, nor can man, for the very reason that He is one and at the same time He is all. This applies to both. Neither can man be reincarnated nor can God.
