एष देवो विश्वकर्मा महात्मा सदा जनानां हृदये सन्निविष्टः। हृदा मनीषा मनसाभिक्लृप्तो य एतद्विदुरमृतास्ते भवन्ति॥
eṣa devo viśvakarmā mahātmā sadā janānāṃ hṛdaye sanniviṣṭaḥ | hṛdā manīṣā manasābhiklṛpto ya etadviduramṛtāste bhavanti ||
"This God, the creator of all, the Great Soul, is ever seated in the hearts of people. He is comprehended by the heart, by insight, by the mind. Those who know this become immortal."
What This Means:
The great God who creates everything dwells always in human hearts. He is known through heart, intuition, and mind. This knowledge grants immortality.
Going Deeper:
Three faculties are mentioned for knowing God: heart (hṛdā), insight (manīṣā), mind (manas). All three must be engaged in spiritual discovery.
How To Apply This:
Use heart, insight, and mind together to discover the divine presence within. Each faculty reveals different aspects.
