In plain words
Satya is the mother, Jñāna the father, Dharma the brother, compassion the sister, Śānti is the wife, forbearance is the son: these six are, all of them, one's kin.
For the physical body in the world, for this natural life, this impermanent life, one gets natural parents, impermanent parents, physical parents. When we enquire on the path of nivṛtti, this śloka explains well who the real kin are of man, who is eternal and true. Satya does not change. Satya holds good in all three times. That very Satya is the lasting, eternal, true mother. Jñāna is the father. What is this Jñāna? Is it physical knowledge, or knowledge of the sciences? No, no. This is true knowledge itself. That itself is the vision of non-duality, Jñāna. The knowledge that teaches oneness is the real father. Dharma is the brother. We have brothers. But among brothers there are many kinds of feeling. But Dharma alone, which does not change, does not waver and undergoes no change at all, is our real brother. He himself is God. All the sages said, ‘Rāmo vigrahavān dharmaḥ.’ Rāma is Dharma in person. Compassion is the sister. Human beings become blessed through compassion alone. ‘Be he a demon, be he a brahmin, be he a man of boundless intelligence, he must become blessed through compassion!’ That compassion springs from God alone. Compassion is the sister. Śānti is the wife. There is no other purity beyond Śānti. Today, because we have lost Śānti, the whole world is wasting away in unrest. Śānti is God. Forbearance is the son. People think that a son is the one who brings uplift in the world. It is not a physical, worldly son that brings uplift. The one who uplifts is God alone, the highest. With this very thing in view:
You alone are mother and father, You alone are kinsman and friend, You alone are learning and wealth, You alone are my all, O God of gods.
All is the form of Brahman
The whole world is the very form of God. In every atom and every particle, Brahman alone is present. The mountains in view, the trees that fan the air, the worms that crawl, food to eat, air to breathe, the birds that fly: all are the form of Brahman.
The stars all are Brahman, the sun, that is Brahman, the moon, too, is Brahman, water is Brahman, heaven, too, is Brahman, Vaikuṇṭha, that is Brahman, mother, too, is Brahman, father is Brahman, fortune, too, is Brahman, sovereignty, that is Brahman, the creatures are Brahman, the living being is Brahman, giving birth is Brahman, sustaining is Brahman, causing death is Brahman, the housewife is Brahman, all actions are Brahman, Time is Brahman, the whole of Prakṛti is Brahman, the primal Śakti is Brahman, all is Brahman, and this assembly too is Brahman, this Sathya Sai, who makes Satya known, is Brahman.
God is full of power. That very power is the reflection of Prakṛti. All the powers in Prakṛti are present in every human being who lives in Prakṛti. So God, Prakṛti and the jīva: all three are the principle of Brahman. The jīva is not one thing and God another. The world is not one thing and the Lord of the world another. Sarvaṃ viṣṇumayaṃ jagat. Prakṛti is the effect; God alone is the embodiment of effect and cause. To search for God, you need not practise any sādhanas. All powers are contained in man. They lie contained at a level that is unknown. What does unknown mean? It is the state of not being known. The Pāṇḍavas lived in the forest for twelve years and then lived unknown for a year, as the story goes. To be unknown means to live without anyone knowing. In the same way, all powers live unknown in man.
