I completely accept the essence of this statement. Is there is any verse

regarding this statement? That will be great.

I beleive what I said comes from Bhaktivinoda thakura. But the only verse

that comes to mind now (it is 10:30 p.m. and I have been working since 6:00

a.m.) is the verse from Mahabharata where is says:

 

dharmasya tattva nihitam guhaya.

 

The real truth of religious principles is hidden in the hearts of the pure

devotees.
