Everything Is Within Us

Those who comprehended God have comprehended Him within themselves

Someone asked a question, ‘Where is God not?’ A person replied, ‘Some persons say God is everywhere. Some others say He is nowhere. He is now here.’ See how the same word gives two different meanings when split differently.

Karaikkal Ammaiyar states, ‘They referred to You as being in the Heavens, whereas I know you as the One dwelling in my heart’. (Unnai vaanathaan enrar, yaano en Nenjathaan enben iniye). Appar says, ‘He who dwells in my mind, initiates my thoughts and implements them’ (‘Manathaanai, Manathil ninra karuthaanai, karuttharindhu mudippan thannai’).

Those who comprehended God have comprehended Him within themselves and never outside.

God is something that can never be explained. You have to experience Him. Any attempt at explanation would trigger more questions only.
