God resides in the heart, beyond the reach of external objects..

God resides in the heart,
beyond the reach of external objects.

Man today sheds copious tears
for achieving wealth, health, position and fame.

Does he shed a single tear
for getting the grace of God or winning His love?

Saint Purandaradasa sang,
"Of what use are eyes that cannot see God?"

You use your eyes
all your life to see the external world.

What do you achieve thereby?

No one attempts to see the Unseen.
The daily chores, eating and sleeping are repeated endlessly.

But there is no yearning
to see the Unseen Divine.
It is only when you develop that desire
will your life become meaningful. That alone confers peace.
