Ignorant of the Almighty residing within, we seek Him in multiple 'Forms' externally. The 'Beings' are bothering about the Almighty as the external matter apparent as Form but not the quintessential Spirit intrinsic within All ! The infallibility of non-duality of the Individual Soul and the Universal Soul is well depicted in the sankeertana, "Ni Vanaga Noka Chota Nilichi Vunduta Ledu", by the poet savant Annamacharya............
'Oh My Lord! 'You', does not mean the statue in niche of 'Garbha Gudi' - sanctum sanctorum. If truth is known by understanding Your nature (attributes) properly, 'You' means everything in this creation and transcending beyond! There is nothing that is not 'You' !
'You are (in) that 'being' who realises that the Soul (Consciousness) in him is the same as the Souls of all other living beings in the creation. You are (in) that pious 'being' who venerates other women as his mother and accordingly shows respect in his mind towards them.
'You are (in) that 'being' who indulges in and becomes noble and rich in performance of austere vow of maintaining Truth - 'Satya Vrata', (elaborated with story in DP of 21.08.2015), in creed and deed. You are (in) that 'being' who regards his wealth as trivial as grass blade and doesn't have desires or passions.
'You are (in) that 'being' who is not affected by the cycling changes of pleasures and pains and maintains his cool with a pleasant demeanour in all circumstances of thick and thin. And You are that, envisaged in the holy scriptures of vedas as the 'Being' without Beginning (origin) and End (dissolution). There is nothing without You and 'You Are All' !'...............
The Almighty, that is the Supreme Consciousness, is all pervading - omnipresent, beyond doubt. But levels of His manifestations differ in beings. Hence the importance of this sankeertana which explains about the 'beings' exuding divinity ! A seeker shall have an thirsty inquisitive eye for penetrative perception through All Forms of Beings, Idols and Symbols for experiencing divinity in them!

Spirit of Symbols !
Om Shanti!
