Can you hear it? Or do you know its there anyway?

Imagine you are lazing in a beach, with no worries, you can see the ripples of the ocean and hear the sound of the waves. You can see the beautiful sunset and admire the beauty of nature, and you are filled with peace and enveloped in the divine order of things.

If you are far from a beach, in your office/home, with many thoughts that fill your mind, you are not conscious of nature, and its beauty. Does this not imply a gap in awareness? Do we need to rely on our senses to be conscious of reality ? Or can we be in touch with all of reality within our self, such that we don't need to go to that beach to find peace, or to be in touch with nature and the divine order.
