Passage 18

In English

Many people say "Oh God! You are my mother, father, relative and friend." This prayer conveys that God is different from you. If you call God your father, you are his son. If you call God a friend, then you are His friend. Do not say like this. Say, "God! You are myself." This is the easiest path. Jesus first said, "I am the messenger of God." That was the first step. Then Jesus said, "I am the son of God." When he said messenger, there was no relationship between God and him. When he said son, the relationship of father and son existed. Finally, Jesus realized, "You and I are one; there is no difference." That was the Holy Ghost. You should reach that state. Do not be satisfied with (dualism) and (qualified non-dualism). You should rise above these. If you think, I am a devotee and You are God, that is . This attitude is improper. This is not right. You must realize, "You and I are one; there is no difference. The consciousness in You and that in me are the same, not two. Think that you are Divinity."
