SRI HARIKATHAMRUTASARA /
ಶ್ರೀ ಜಗನ್ನಾಥದಾಸ ವಿರಚಿತ ಶ್ರೀ ಹರಿಕಥಾಮೃತಸಾರ
The omnipresence of Lord Hari is unintelligible/ಶ್ರೀ ಹರಿಯ ವ್ಯಾಪ್ತಿ ಅತ್ಯಂತ ಗಹನ

SUMMARY: Like the smoke emanating from fire ignited in a Parnakuti, a hermitage with thatched ceiling, passes through the tiny holes in the ceiling to indicate that there is fire inside but does not openly show the flames, Lord Hari stays in every being and everything in this Brahmanda, performs all the acts and deeds according to their eligibility criteria, without being visible to anyone.
The golden words in Gita are: “TEna vinA truNamapi na chalati” (Without Him, not a grass shakes). Parnakuti means TruNakrutAlaya – a hermitage constructed with dry grass (thatched hut).
It is said “Yatra DhUmaha tatra vahnihi”. In English too we have a proverb “Where there is smoke, there is fire”. The smoke oozes out of small pores in the thatched hut or hermitage. But, the flames of fire are never seen outside. Lord Hari is inside everything and every being. But, he can never be seen. All thoughts and actions of humans are directed by Lord Hari, though normally it is claimed by humans that he or she is thinking or acting. It needs a lot of devotion to the Lord to realize the reality.

SUMMARY: If the water is fed to the roots of a tree, they (roots) get soaked, branches of the tree beget strength, produce flowers and yield very tasty fruits; similarly, Lord of the Universe Sri Hari receives the worship offered to him and yields good fruits in the name of Brahma, Rudra and other deities and honors the devotees; but, he never exhibits his greatness to the world.

One of the hymns recited as part of Sandhyavandana is:

AkAshAt patitam tOyam yaThAgachChati sAgaram sarva dEva namaskArAha KEshavam pratigachChati|

ಆಕಾಶಾತ್ ಪತಿತಂ ತೋಯಂ ಯಥಾಗಚ್ಛತಿ ಸಾಗರಂ ಸರ್ವದೇವ ನಮಸ್ಕಾರಾಃ ಕೇಶವಂ ಪ್ರತಿಗಚ್ಛತಿ||

Just as the water fallen from the sky joins the sea, the salutations offered to any deity or anyone reach Lord Keshava, one of the forms of Sri Vishnu.

Worship offered to other deities without worshipping Lord Hari is like trying to feed water to the branches or the leaves of a tree, instead of the roots.

This emphasizes the supremacy of Lord Hari vis-a-vis all other deities. It is only the supreme Lord who can receive offering
