You and You Alone
(Tu Hi Tu)
Shree Hari
It has come in the Upanishads that in the beginning there was that One only Existence, without a second - "sadeva somyedamgr aaseedekamevaadviteeyam" (Chandogya. 6/2/1) . That One only existent form of Divinity, became Many from One -
(1) Sadaikshat bahu syaam prajaayeyeti (Chandogya 6/2/3)
(2) Sokaamayat bahi syaam prajaayeyeti (Taittereeya 2/6)
(3) Eko vashi sarvabhootaantraatma ekam roopam bahudhaa yah karoti | (Katho. 2/2/12)
After becoming many from one, then too He remained One only. He did not become diverse -
1) "neha nanasti kinchan" (Bruhdaaranyak. 4/4/19, Katho. 2/1/11)
2) "Ekopi san bahudhaa yo vibhaati" (Gopaalpoorvataapaneeyopanishad)
3) "Yatsakshaadaparokshad Brahma" (Bruhadaaranyak. 3/4/1)
4) "Sarvam khalvidam Brahma" (Chaandogya. 3/14.1)
5) "Brahmaivedam vishvamidam" (Mundak. 2/2/11)
Therefore in Srimad Bhagwat the Lord says to Brahmaji -
Ahamevaasamevaagre naanyad yat sadsat param |
Paschaadaham yadetcch yovashishyet yosamyaham ||
Before the creation of this universe, only I was there, there was nothing separate from me. After the creation of this universe, whatever is seen is Me only. Whatever is real, unreal and beyond the two, it is all Me only. After this creation, is also Me only, and after all are destroyed, whatever remains, that too is Me only."
In Gita, the Lord has said-
1) Ahammaadishrcha madhyam cha bhootaanaamanta eva cha|| Gita 10/20)
I am the beginning, the middle and also the end of all creation.
2) Sargaabaanaadiranyascha madhyaam chaivaahamarjuna (Gita 10/32)
I am the beginning, the end and also the middle of all creation.
3) Mattah parataram naayatkinchidasti (Gita 7/7)
In this world, besides Me there is no other cause or activity higher than Me
4) Vasudevah Sarvam (Gita 7/19)
Everything is only God.
5) Na tadasti vinaa yatsyaanmayaa bhootam charaacharam || (Gita 10/39)
There is no creature animate or inanimate that can exist without Me.
Saints have also shared their experiences and said -
1) Tut u kartaa tu bhayaa, mujhmein rahi na hu |
Vaari feri bali gayi, jit dekhu tit tu ||
2) Sab jagah ishvaroop hai, bhalo buro nahin koy |
Jaisi jaaki bhaavanaa taiso hi phal hoy ||
3) Sp ananya jaake asi mati na tarayi hanumant |
Mein sewak sacharaachar roop swami bhagvant || (Manas, Kishkindha 3)
4) Nij prabhumaya dekhahin jagat kehi san karahin birodh || (Manas, Utter. 112 kha) Jada chetan jag jeev jat sakal raamamai jaani (Manas, Baalkand 7 ga) (to be continued)
