Lord Hari who dwells in our hearts appears distant because of sins of living beings.

Believers of Hari find him in whatever they see. Wise people find him wherever they hear of him. Though he is nearby some people can't worship him . They search for him in the sky using all their excessive learning.

Seekers of supreme object of life think that whatever idea they hold is supreme self. Though abused, true devotees have unflinching faith in him. Some can not touch his feet and worship him though he is right before them. They run here and there and perform various rituals.

Yogis realise God in their breathe. Hari's devotees feel him by their side. Some can not surrender to great Venkateswara. They search for the grace of many other Gods due to their fickleness.
