The saints have been placed above all types of people. God is not external to man but his very inner one. He is the very 'Atma' of the 'Atma' and soul of every soul. He is the inner reality. God is one.
Religion means experience.
Religious principles have to be practiced and their validity experienced. God is being and becoming is the experience. Unless one contemplates God and confronts him in bliss, unless one wins the awareness of 'Atma' that is the reality, man is bound to suffer from incompleteness. A Hindu only strives to transcend the here and how and becomes aware of transcendent principles of God Head. Realisation of the unity of 'Atma' principle that fills each heart with universal love is the inner core of Indian culture.
