If God is everywhere and in every thing, am I merely the vessel or manifestation of God, like the sun, or a cloud, or Mount Everest (or a pebble on it), or an indigo bunting, or an iris, or an octopus, or a kitten - important, even amazing, but unaware (as far as we can tell) of the divinity we see in them and entirely indifferent to human affairs?
Having human consciousness - and conscience - and the belief that God is in me as in every other thing, have I no responsibility for representing God to other people?
Have I no responsibility, as a vessel of holiness perforce of my beliefs, for cherishing and taking care of the share of divinity that is my lot to carry?
Have I no responsibility, except by my choice, for treating other people as I'd like to be treated - as vessels of holiness, as manifestations of God?
Am I so wise, talented or powerful that I see no reason, let alone need, to consult the divinity within me as I make my daily choices, big and small?
