Sant Sundar Das sees the Divine present in every heart:
One God resides in the heart of each and every person. Why don't you meditate on that one God? That God helps you overcome misery. Why do you forget that Lord? Four kinds of wealth are with him, eight kinds of siddhis (supernormal powers), and nine kinds of treasure can be obtained from Him. People who pray to any other than this great God have mouths full of dust [wasting away lives), warns Sundar.
Gosvami Tulsidas says:
The One [Supreme Being] is unspoken, without form, without name, without birth, the abode of knowledge and bliss.
Sant Surdas says:
If the mind wants to find God, it should leave the outward trappings of texts and external worship. Abandon texts and ceremonies; and be truthful in thoughts, words, and deeds! Then one will see the true Lord within one's own self.
Unifying Principles in the Spiritual Path Vedic dharma has its temples, Christianity its churches, and Islam its mosques. But the real temple is the heart. God is attained within: the path to God lies within one's own self, as all the saints have taught this with unanimity. The inner path begins in Sushumana, ajana chakra (the tenth gate between two eyebrows).
