In plain words
A son knows how he must behave for his mother to be happy, and what kind of life he must lead for his mother to be happy. What the unmanifest Divine desires, what it rejects, what it is angered by and what it blesses, no one knows. Rather than worship such an unmanifest God and come under His anger and His grace, it is a sacred duty to worship mothers, to honour mothers, and to become worthy of their grace. That being so, a small doubt may arise: ‘Why should divinity be given a special place?’ There are electric lamps. All these bulbs look the same to us. But we find many kinds of difference among them. The filament inside them differs. This filament may be 40, it may be 60, it may be 100, it may be 500, it may be 1000. In the same way, in the human body, the five elements, the five sheaths, the five senses, and excrement, urine, foul odour, flesh and blood may be the same for all. But there is a difference in resolve and wavering. There is a difference in the sacred divine power. Precisely because that divine power is greater in the Divine, divinity has had to be given this special place.
What is in the atom is in the vast as well
‘Yat piṇḍe tat brahmāṇḍe,’ it has been said. What is in the body is in the cosmos as well. We think of the cosmos as the Virāṭ form and of the body as the principle of the atom. This is a great mistake. What is in the atom is in the vast as well. There is no difference whatever between the atom and the vast. In a small seed lies a mighty, big tree. This whole vast, big tree lies folded within the small seed itself. The Virāṭ form does not mean a gathering of many things.
