Re: brahman and "ugly" things

If one accepts all life forms are equal and it is He who protects them, one will not have difficulty in accepting this.  To the worm that lives in the sewer, Swarga is nothing but the sewer.  Try taking it out and putting it on what we consider as 'clean environment.'  That would cause suffocation to the worm and what is 'clean' for humans, is real hell for the worm.  There is life form in them.  Life form depend on what we consider as disgusting and abnoxious.  I don't think Brahman differentiates between man and worm and loves the human being more than the worm.  Is that so?  Kindly enlighten if so.

  Please bear with me on this stinker question.

  A queston to those that think  
  "the brahman is verily everything".

  How would you explain pervasiveness of the brahman in ugly,
  disgusting matter such as animal faeces ?
