My life is my work - By Swami Ranganathanandaji

The Gita Teaching and today, the Ramakrishna Vivekananda teaching of Advaita, is based upon this idea that the divine is in the heart of all. We have to worship God by serving people around. In our bhakti religion we saw Brahman only in the temple; outside the temple it is all samsara or worldliness. That is why you find  a person going to a temple, cutting grass there with great devotion, because that act has behind it the devotion to the divine, to that image of God that is there. You limited God only to that particular image. You couldn't feel the presence of God elsewhere. Therefore, you made your religion too narrow in the past centuries.
