Rişhi: Aruņah (RV 10.91.2)
sa
darshatashrīr-atithir-gŗhegŗhe vane-vane shishriye
takvavīriva,
janam-janam janyo nāti manyate visha ā ksheti vishyo vishamvisham.
In his
visioned glory he lodges as the guest in every house, as a bird in
forest and forest; he disdains not the peoples; universal, he
dwells in all and in man and man.
The Divine is not seated somewhere beyond,
above this creation, requiring the seeker to leave the world if he
is to find Him. The Divine is here in the universe, the Divine is
in the heart of each man. Having created form, says the Upanishad,
He entered into it and took His lodging in it. Thus He is in the
heart of every being, in house and house. No form, no creature is
too small or too mean for this Guest of shining glory. He regards
every mansion as His habitation and dwells in His sacred chamber
awaiting the hour when man, the master of the house, Yajamana,
would wake up to the Presence and bring his life-offering for His
acceptance.
