Even though divinity resides in his heart, why does man consider himself weak
Human being is the repository of divine energy. In spite of being endowed with all powers, man considers himself weak. This is the effect of his evil company. By associating himself with bad company, man is developing bad thoughts and bad feelings.

How best can one understand the limitless aspect of God?
If we want to understand this well, we must realize that religions are all different but all of them lead to the same goal. When salt is in the sea, it is not distinct from the sea. It is a part of the ocean. One drop of water is enough to tell us that the ocean water is salty. In the same manner, even if you experience a small part of the aspect of Him, which is in your heart, you can understand the entire divine aspect of God. There is only one God all over and He is not different in different persons.
