In a similar way people today tend to ignore the Divinity within themselves, but hanker after many external objects. There is no need to go in search of the Divine. Men must develop firm faith in the Divinity within them. All that is needed is to turn the vision inward to experience the Divine within. Men engage themselves in many outward spiritual practices.
All scholarship is of no avail if there is no realization in the heart.
The scholar may expound the texts, but lacks the internal experience. One who has mastered the Vedas may be able to explain the words, but cannot recognize the Veda Purusha, the Supreme Person hailed by the Vedas. When a person goes to a temple, he closes his eyes in front of the idol, because what he seeks is an internal vision of GOD and not a sight of the external form of the idol. God is Omnipresent as proclaimed in the Geetaa. God is ONE, though Names and Forms may differ.
