HEART AND GOD

A student of PhD asked Bhagavan

God is said to be immanent, how do you justify your confining Him to heart?

God is said to reside in the Heart in the same way as you are said to reside in your body. Yet Heart is not a place. Some place must be named as the dwelling of God for those who take their bodies for themselves and who comprehend only relative knowledge. The fact is neither God nor we occupy any space. We are bodiless and space less in deep sleep, yet in the waking state, we appear to be the opposite. Atman and Paramatman is that from which the body is born, in which it lives and into which it finally resolves.
