(RV
1.70.4)
adrau chid-asmā antar-duroņe
vishām
na vishvo amŗtaĥ svādhīĥ.
Even in the stone he is there for man, He is there in the middle
of his house, He is as one universal in creatures; He is the
Immortal, the perfect thinker.
The Divine as Agni is there even in the most material objects like
the stone and can be sensed by man by an appropriate tuning of his
consciousness. He is also there—the flaming Seer-Will—at the core
of his own being and can be perceived and made overtly active by
concentration and adoration. He is abroad in all, as the universal
Force of Agni holding together all and can be recognized and
realized by self-enlargement out of the bounds of the individual
ego.
The idea of the Divine as the immanent force in all existence is
developed further as the Vaishvanara vidya in the Chandogya
Upanishad. [V.11-18].
