Worship the Lord who lives in the cavity of your heart, nearer to you
than your thickest friend, your father, mother or preceptor. He
is all of these and more to you. The physical body and the
pleasures and comforts you crave for are all subject to damage and
decay. One day or other, it becomes food for dogs and jackals.
The Lord, on the other hand, grants you bliss and joy forever.
He cannot be won my unlimited scholarship, pompous vows or colorful
rituals. Surrender your heart to Him. He desires nothing
else from you.
-Divine Discourse,
Prasanthi Vahini.
