Beholding God Everywhere
(cont'd)
It is God's own words -
Matah parataram naanyat kinchidasti dhananjaya |
Mayi sarvamidam protam sootre maniganaa iva || (Gita 7/7)
"O' Arjuna, of this world there is no other cause higher than Me. As yarn beads are strung on the thread, so all the worlds are permeated by Me. (Gita 7/7)
Bijam maam sarvabhootaanaam viddhi paarth sanaatanam (Gita 7/10)
"O' Partha, know Me as the eternal (Sanatana) seed of all beings; (Gita 7/10)
Ye chaiva saatvikaa bhaava raajasaastaamasashch ye |
Matta eveti taanviddhi na tvaham teshu te mayyi || (Gita 7/12)
Whatever entities are born of sattva (mode of goodness or purity), of rajas (mode of activity or passion) and tamas (the mode of inertia or ignorance), know them all as evolved from Me; yet still neither I am in them, nor are they in Me. (Gita 7/12)
Yacchaapi sarvabhootaanaam beejam tadahamrjun |
Na tadasti vinaa yatsyaanmaya bootam charaacharam || (Gita 10/39)
O' Arjuna, I am the seed of all beings. There is no creature, animate or inanimate, that can exist without Me. (Gita 10/39)
Just as a seed becomes a tree, similarly God only becomes the world. God only is the seed of all movable and immovable creatures. Not only that, further ahead God says - "Sadasacchaahumrjun" (Gita 9/19) "I am being (real) and non-being (unreal) both." In this world besides being and non-being, there is nothing else. The world is non-being, and That which resides in it, our Lord, is being. The body is unreal, the one who resides in it is real. The embodied soul is real. The world and this body are constantly changing, but the jeevatma (embodied soul) and Paramatma (God) are unchanging (without any modification). God says that the changing is also Me and the unchanging is also Me. The perishable is also me and the Imperishable is also Me. Even Arjuna says - "Tvamaksharam sadsattaparam yat" (Gita 11/37) "You are the being (real), the non-being (unreal), and that which is beyond both being and non-being i.e. the Imperishable Brahma.
Now where is the delay in God Realizaion? What effort is needed? What is the delay after being informed that this is Gangaji? What effort is involved? God is more extra-ordinary then even Gangaji. Gangaji is at one place, but God is everywhere. God Himself says that everything is Me and Me alone. There is nothing else besides me - "matah parataram naayatkinchidasti dhananjaya" (Gita 7/7). If someone says that I do not have faith in these words, then it is his shortcoming. If you do not have faith in God, then are you going to have faith in the body or the world that is momentary, perishable? You do not have faith in God's words, and you want your salvation! How is that possible? To not have faith in God's words, is a sin, is a contempt on God. If his words are not understood by me, then accept these words with a firm conviction that there is a shortcoming in our understanding, not a shortcoming in the Truth, in Divinity. Then you will realize it. Because the truth will remain the truth, how can it become false? Even if we do not understand it, if you cannot see it, but all is God - there is no doubt about this.
