Q&A-19 : Where do you seek for God?

Seek God in the human being; there He is more manifested than in other beings; but He is manifested still more in a devotee. The devotee’s heart is the Lord’s drawing room, where you can have interview with Him. (Sri Ramakrishna Paramahansa)

The Svetasvatara Upanisad proclaims this vision of the Divine in every human being in a great verse (4.3).

‘You are the woman, You are the man, You are the boy, You are the girl too; You are the old man tottering with a stick (in hand); You are born with faces everywhere.’

(‘Practical Vedanta and The Science of Values’ by Swami Ranganathananda; Published by Advaita Ashrama, (Publication Department), 5, Dehi Entally Road, Kolkata-700014).
