Ointment is applied to the eyes for clear vision. When the ointment of love of Godhead will be applied in our eyes, then with these eyes we shall be able to see God. God is not invisible.

God is there, but because our eyes are not competent to see God, therefore we deny God. However, God is everywhere.
