In plain words
Within this word Ātma we can speak of many Ātmas: the Dehātma, the Jīvātma, the Paramātma, the Pratyagātma. But the word ‘Bhagavān’ has to be used as ‘Bhagavān’; it cannot be changed. Bhagavān is One. That is the final word.
Doing the sādhana fit to win the Prema of God is the inner meaning of being human
The sound ‘bha’ means the One endowed with every kind of wealth, endowed with every power, the cause of creation, sustenance and dissolution. The single letter ‘bha’ has two meanings: sambharta and bharta. ‘Sambharta’ means the One who has the power to create, taking Prakṛti as his means. Because he has the authority to rule this world he has created, its second meaning is ‘bharta’. In another way, ‘bha’ carries the meanings of radiance, brilliance, lamp, splendour, light and the like. ‘Ga’ means pervading. ‘Vantuḍu’ means the one who is able. ‘Bhagavantuḍu’ means the One who has the authority to light the divine light, the light of prajñāna, the light of Advaita, the unbroken light, the light of the Ātma. When we gain the principle and the Prema of such an all-capable God, there is nothing in this world we can gain beyond it. Neither here nor in the world beyond is there any power greater than this. That is why doing the sādhana fit to win the Prema of God is the true inner meaning of being human.
For man to live a life full of joy, the mind needs rest
On this basis it was said, ‘Of all creatures, birth as a human is hard to attain.’ Among living beings this human birth is the highest, the most gracious, the most noble. For the man so born to live a life of joy, rest for the mind is vital. The mind moves with great speed. To stop chariots that race at speed, people use things called brakes. Just as they have fitted brakes on these vehicles to check their speed, so, because the mind runs fast, they have given it a brake too, called dhyāna.
