Divinity Is One – Goal Is One
It is, of course, natural to have a desire for the fruits of our actions in the beginning. But, gradually we must rise to the stage of performing actions without desire (). It is not possible in the beginning to perform desireless actions. Hence, these desires must gradually be transformed as 'work for worship'. Whatever we do, must be done to please God and as an offering to Him. Divinity is one. But several names and forms are given to it. (God is one; the wise call Him by different names). Here is a small example with which all of you are familiar. As soon as an infant is born, he is referred to as a child. After 10 years, we call him a boy. The same boy after 30 years is referred to as a man. The same man at 75 years of age is called a grandfather, great-grandfather, etc. But this child, boy, man and grandfather are one and the same individual. Similarly, in the beginning, one starts as an (one who develops an intense yearning for God). Then he becomes an (one who seeks wealth from God); then a (a seeker of spiritual knowledge) and finally a (a realised soul). The stages at which these four types of people are operating may be different, but their goal, namely, Divinity, is the same. It is a process for gradual evolution from one stage to the other. For this evolution, is required. It is said, (by constant practice, things can be achieved in this world).
