He who knows the receptacle (Ayatana) verily becomes the receptacle of his people. Mind is verily the receptacle (of all our knowledge). (Chhandogya Upanishad, V-i-5)
That which separates you from God is mind. The wall that stands between you and God is mind. Pull the wall down through Om-Chintana or devotion and you will come face to face with God.

Yogesh,
I happened to bump into your blog accidently when searching for info about Trailanga Swami. You have a done a good job of collecting info about great saints & sages and posting them in the web. I consider this to be a kind of spiritual sadhana, it’s a service what you have done to humanity by posting info about such great souls. I was planning to start a blog about unknown mystics and masters (those souls about whom there’s not even an iota of info in the web), it’s still in the pipeline. Most of them are from karnataka about whom I have read, who have remained largely unknown, being confined to places where they lived or known to people who are interested in spirituality. I felt there should be some info in web about such souls so as to help people who happen to hear about them ( accidently or by chance) to get more details, which can help them in their quest. I have built/building one blog about a great soul who lived in lower nandi hills, you can go through it when you get time:http://sadguruomkar.blogspot.com/
