not in the churches, not in the synagogues; god is in the experience of love, god is the experience of love, god is love. Forget god, remember love.
Deva means divine, and the sound of eenee is beautiful, so I will keep it. The meaning doesn't matter; what matters is the music, the melody of a word, the music of a word, the rhythm. All meaning is arbitrary. We have given a certain meaning to a certain word, hence it has that meaning. It is not anything natural; it is arbitrary, invented.

Mm? -- these insects and their sound.... If you listen and if you want to find 'eenee' in this sound it will be found. Sound is a natural phenomenon.
Think more of nature and less of the arbitrary, the artificial, because the natural is the door to the divine. Language is not the door to the divine, but music. If one can start hearing the music of existence which is all over -- it is just that we are deaf -- then god is heard. Or these sounds... and god is trying to approach you. Bu our senses have become dull, and we have started living n the man-created world too much.
Only the man-created world has meaning. Remove men, the world will be there in its utter beauty, but there will be no meaning to it. The sun will rise and the birds will sing; the trees will grow, the roses will bloom; the spring will come. Everything will continue but with new meaning, with no purpose, with no goal -- utterly beautiful but utterly nude of meaning; that's what existence is.
To fall into this meaningless, purposeless existence is meditation; to drown oneself in this beautiful existence for no other reason, for no goal, is to become divine.
'God' also is a meaningless word, the most meaningless of all words, but tremendously significant: the significance consists in its meaninglessness.
Deva means divine, paul means very little, very small, just like a dew-drop. But the small only appears small. The dew-drop contains all the oceans there are, it has the secret of all the oceans in it. It is only quantitatively small, qualitatively not. In the ordinary mathematics the part is smaller than the whole, obviously,
