Immanent:

describes God as existing in and extending into all parts of the created universe
Transcendent
existing outside the material universe and so not limited by it
exceeding the limits of experience and therefore unknowable except hypothetically
Western faiths generally perceive divinity as transcendent, separate and beyond the reach of
ordinary reality. This ultimate is God, who is often presented as a person, or personage. It is
the duty of the faithful to know, love and obey God. Eastern traditions see the absolute as
transpersonal and immanent, being within and ultimately identical to the seeker. These faiths
are generally non theistic. Even most Eastern religions with polytheistic pantheons regard
ultimate reality as both beyond the gods and within every sentient being.
