Tap any word for its meaning.

In plain words

Unseen in the world that is seen, the Consciousness that shines in it is the form of the Ātma; like the thread through a string of gems, the Lord of the universe has filled the whole universe.

Embodiments of Prema!

Sarvaṃ khalv idaṃ brahma. This is the essence of all the Upaniṣads. The whole world of the moving and the unmoving is held within this one small phrase. Nothing that is not Brahman is to be found in this world.

As fire lies in firewood, as oil is held in sesame seeds, wherever you look, God fills it all.

So nothing that is not God is to be found in this world. Creation, sustenance and dissolution, too, go on only by the command of God. Whether man believes it or not, this wheel called the world turns only by the command of God. The maker of the wheel of time is God alone. But man is forgetting the truth of how he must use this time, and how he must make this time sacred. The sun is shining. The moon gives the world its coolness. The rains are falling. The rivers are flowing. The crops are ripening. It is vital that every person recognise the truth that none of these came into being for the sake of any one man. Every human being born into this Nature has an equal right to enjoy it. But man has forgotten this truth. Man never tries to understand the yoga of equal-mindedness. This unattached feeling is seen only in little babies. Drinking its mother's milk, breathing the cool air, delighting in the lullabies its mother sings in her sweet voice, forgetting even its own mind and sinking into a sweet feeling: this is seen only in little children. But as man grows, the differences of "mine" and "others'" are born.
