In plain words
All are children of God! For all, God is the Lord! In names and forms, or in doctrines, they may look different to us. But the Father is one! To recognise such oneness is true Brahmajñāna. Brahmajñāna is not some special labour. Just by reading many books, plunging into argument and counter-argument and recognising the principle of Brahman, we do not become knowers of Brahman. We must recognise the truth that every being in this world is the form of Brahman. We must see the oneness that is in this manyness. To recognise this truth is true Brahmajñāna. By calling something Brahmajñāna, reading heavy books, stuffing them into the head and turning even the head into a book, one does not become a knower of Brahman. ‘They can speak of ten million things, but do not do one.’ Whoever he may be, the one who puts into practice at least some of what he has read and what he has heard, and tries to pass it on to others, is the true man of principle, the one truly interested. Today we have no need of those who have wasted their time arguing over doctrines. We need a man of principle who practises. Today, within society, we must take principles of Satya and Dharma to innocent people, teach them, bring about a change of mind in them, and so set them on the right path.
Do not belittle humanity by fostering differences of race, creed and caste
A small example. The Bhagavad Gītā says that svadharma is the true good and that paradharma is fraught with fear. What is svadharma? ‘Sva’ means the Ātma. ‘The Dharma of the Ātma is svadharma’: by following it so, life is ever good. It falls into no danger. It brings no unrest. What is paradharma? ‘Para’ means the body, which does the actions that are the root cause of sin and merit. ‘The dharma of the body is paradharma.’ Whatever actions one does, one has to take birth again to experience the fruits of those actions.
