OM. In the center of
the castle of Brahmam, our own body, there is a small shrine in the form
of a lotus-flower, and within can be found a small space. We should find
who dwells there, and we should want to know him.|And if anyone ask,
"Who is he who dwells in a small shrine in the form of a
lotus-flower in the centre of the castle of Brahman? Whom should we want
to find and to know?" we can answer:|"The little space within
the heart is as great as this vast universe. The heavens and the earth
are there, and the sun, and the moon, and the stars; fire and lightning
and winds are there; and all that now is and all that is not: for the
whole universe is in Him and He dwells within our heart."

Upanishads
