A saint can bring the devotee close to God. But people go on pilgrimages to shrines and then go home. Why do they put God so far away from themselves? If He is omnipresent, why go only to a certain place to see Him? If the Lord is omnipresent, if He is the indwelling Reality, why have we enshrined Him so far away? Why isn't He close to us? So saints give the spiritual knowledge which brings the devotee into the presence of God.
