For Hindus...?

I wanted to know if this passage I found is really from any Hindu sacred scriptures and if so, can you please tell me from which text. Thank you.





"In the center of the castle of


Brahman, our own body,


there is a small shrine in the


form of a lotus flower


and within can be found


a small space.





We should find who dwells there


and we should want to know him


And if anyone asks, 'Who is he


who lives in a small shrine


in the form of a lotus flower in the


center of the castle of Brahman?'





We can answer:


'The little space within the heart


is as great as the universe.


The heaven and the earth are there;


the sun, the moon, the stars;


fire and lightning and winds...


For the whole universe is in Him and


He dwells within our hearts."

For Hindus...?
I believe that you have referred the following Chandogya Upanishad:





In the center of the castle of Brahman, our own body, There is a small shrine in the form of a lotus flower and within can be found a small space.





We should find who dwells there and we should want to know him. And if anyone asks, "Who is he who lives in a small shrine in the form of a lotus flower in the center of the castle of Brahman?"





We can answer: "The little space within the heart is as great as the universe. The heaven and the earth are there; the Sun, the moon, the stars; fire and lightening and winds ... For the whole universe is in Him and He dwells within our hearts."
