Reading the Gita in front of Maharajji, a devotee paused and asked Maharajji to tell him what was the quickest method to see God. Maharajji laughed and asked the man if he knew how to swim, and the devotee replied that he did. Maharajji said that , in that case, he should bind his arms and legs and tie himself to large boulders and throw himself into deep waters. “Then you will see God right away.”
Maharajji laughed.
Becoming more serious, Maharajji continued, “Arjuna never saw God in that way. I’ve never seen God. He cannot be seen with these two eyes. Only after years of practice and hard work can you hope to see him.”

Neem Karoli baba says he never saw God. What did he mean ?
And no he did not mean when you tie a stone and try to swim you die and see God either
