The ultimate cosmic truth isn't hiding in a temple; it's practically swimming in your sweat and breath. The Bauls of Bengal, spearheaded by the iconoclastic poet Lalon Shah, practiced "Dehatattva" (truth of the body). They vehemently rejected caste, scriptures, and conventional morality, believing that the "Man of the Heart" (God) could only be found by treating human physiology, sexuality, and breath as the ultimate sacred texts.
