As Sábias Palavras de Swamy Vivekananda

Vedanta took this old idea of God, the Governor of the universe, who is external to the universe, and first put him inside the universe. He is not a God outside, but he is inside. From there Vedanta took him in our own hearts. Here he is in the human heart, the Soul of our souls, the Reality in us.

From a lecture on "Vedic Religious Ideals," given in London, 
probably on Oct 13, 1896. Complete Works, 1. 355-56.
