Feeling of Oneness (Apnapan) with God
"Sab mama priya, sab mama upajaaye" (Manas, Utter. 86/4)
"Ishvar ansh jeev abinaasi" (Manas. Utter. 117/2)
"Mamaivaaansho jeevaloke" (Gita 15/7)
In this manner, God and Saints all say that jeev (embodied soul) is a part of Paramatma (God). Therefore we are God's only, and until we do not accept this, till then even though being God's, we will not benefit from it. As long as we remain distant from Paramatma, till then we will not gain peace and joy. We will not experience bliss.
"Sanmukh hoyi jeev mohi jabhin, Janma koti agh naasahin tabhin.
On turning towards God, sins of a million years are destroyed. Therefore gentlemen! Please do me a favor, and accept that I belong to God, and I do not belong to anyone else. Here a doubt may arise, that if we do not belong to anyone else then how will the support and maintenance of the world go on? How will the mothers take care of their children? The resolution to that there is no greatness in nourishing and caring by considering someone as yours. Everyone takes care of their own child as in this there is no bravery. A mother who cares for an orphan child, who is not related in any way, people look upon her with gratitude. The greatness and peace comes from caring for the child as her own, even though the child is not hers. The child too will be deeply influenced by such a mother.
A long time back in the "Kalyaan" magazine, in the monthly portion, an incident was printed. It is about a village. There in a Muslim family, a child was born, but the child's mother died at birth. That poor man was extremely sad. One being the death of his wife, and the second was the dilemma of caring for a new-born. Nearby, there lived a cowherd man. They too had a new born child. When the cowherd man's wife found out about this incident, she asked to care for the Muslim child. She raised both the children. She fed them both her milk, she was fond of them both and loved them both. In her mind and sentiments, there was no duality that one is my own child and the other is someone else's child. When the child grew older and reached student age, she asked the Muslim man to take him and educate him and do as he pleases. The boy received much education and became a pharmacist in a hospital. On the other side, the cowherd mother heart had weakened and was admitted to the hospital for treatment.
