Where is God ?

காரைக்கால் அம்மையார் அருளிய - அற்புதத் திருவந்தாதி பதினோராம் திருமுறை. திருச்சிற்றம்பலம் வானத்தான் என்பாரும் என்கமற் றும்பர்கோன் தானத்தான் என்பாரும் தாமென்க - ஞானத்தான் முன்நஞ்சத் தாலிருண்ட மெய்யொளிசேர் கண்டத்தான் என்நெஞ்சத் தானென்பன் யான். திருச்சிற்றம்பலம்

I would say, the Lord of wisdom, Who got His throat brightly adorned with the stain of poison, is residing in my heart ! Notes: 1. More often one keeps pondering in the details of where and in what form is God and what all could be the ways. It is all fine, as sound enquiry is quite encouraged in Hindu Philosophy. But the fact remains that in spite of being unexplorably complex, God is also as simple to one who approaches It with love. God is not just in the places beyond sight. It is right there in the abodes of our hearts. 2. umbar - devas; moyyoLi cEr - splendid.
