Discourse at the consecration ceremony of the idol at Colony, on the outskirts of , , 21-1-1985.
Seek God in the temple of your heart
The temples play a vital role in awakening the spiritual impulse in man and directing him towards the realisation of his inherent divinity. The real temple for man is his heart, and forgetting this fact, man goes after temples outside. Temples are erected to remind men about God, but the Divine dwells in the heart and should be sought there. Men go through any amount of difficulties, hardships, trials and tribulations in life, but few try to understand their essential Divinity, which should be the primary aim of life. Men devote considerable care and attention to the preservation of the body which is perishable. But they do not cultivate good thoughts and do good deeds through which they can attain enduing bliss.
