All the saints of all times and the world over have been in
unison on the point that though God permeates through each &
every particle, however tiny, of the universe, the path to
Him as well as He Himself can be found only within us and
that all other attempts, whatever and howsoever grand, to
probe for Him in the outside world are, in fact, exercises
in futility and, therefore, are bound to fail. Below is
presented an english translation of a verse composed by one
of the greatest exponents of Santmat humanity has ever
seen, Maharshi Mehi Paramhans ji Maharaj of Bhagalpur,
Bihar, taken from his book "Maharshi Mehi Padaavali:

Look for (Him) within you, loiter not in the outside world in
the search of God. For He dwells within us only. Gathering
your current of consciousness scattered in both your eyes,
focus it on a point as a result of which you would get to see
(the inner divine light, brahma jyoti) and hear (the inner
divine sound, brahma naad),and thus carry on your search
inside you. Channelise or draw your consciousness (surat)
straight unto the tiniest gate (tenth gate, dasham dwaar,
til dwaar, vindu, or ajna chakra) where you will be able to
listen to a large variety of vibrations or sounds (anhad naad).
Get inspired by these and ascend or raise yourself further &
further up in the search (of your true self). Each of the
five mandals or spheres of creation (namely, gross or
`sthool', subtle or `sookshma', causal or `kaaran',
supra-causal or `mahaakaaran', and pure conscious or
'chetan') has its own vibration/sound (which is responsible
for its creation) arising from its centre. Getting hold of each
of these central sounds one by one, go on leaping into the
higher (subtler) spheres in search for your true master (God
or your own real self). Maharshi Mehi Paramhans says that
with your unstinted, unwavering devotion & dedication unto
your Guru and, as a result, the latter's grace, strive to
catch hold of the fifth (the subtlest) sound or vibration
(called variously as anaahat naad, saar shabd, aadi shabd,
pranav, sfot, aadi naam, raam naam etc.) which springs from
the Almighty's realm (beyond all the five aforementioned
spheres or mandals) and which would escort you along to
Him only, thus completing & fulfilling your search.
