Tap any word for its meaning.

In plain words

In this way each person has been following, practising and understanding the principle of God according to his own power and capacity. But in the matter of Gaṇapati at least, believers, unbelievers, scientists and saints all must have the same feeling. Atomic energy is everywhere. Without this atomic energy no substance can exist in the world. Where did all this come from? It is the very divinity, the energy that is the root of all. At Bhadrācalam, Rāmadāsu, worshipping Rāma and praying to Him, said:

All is filled with Rāma; this whole world is filled with Rāma.

Wherever you look, it is filled with Rāma alone. There is no place at all without Rāma. There is no place at all without the atom. So atomic energy is everywhere. Rāma's power is everywhere. But if you want to know that power of Rāma, how are you to know it? You must become the very form of light.

The tree is the work you take up; the branch is the hold you keep; slip in the work and let go the hold, and you reach Parabrahman; do Rāma's bhajan: the whole kingdom will shine; the essence is the oil; Satya is the wick; when the light is spent and you go, no one comes with you.

Such a principle is the light. The essence is the oil. Satya is the wick. When these come together, light comes. When you go, the light does not come, and no one at all comes.

The fort has seven walls round it; inside the fort is a garden.

There are seven ramparts. Inside there is a garden. They are none other than the seven notes. In the midst of it there is a garden called divinity.

If we would go into the garden, we do not know the way: how, then?

The forts we know. But we do not know the way to go to the garden that is inside. In this way the devotees, each according to his own purpose, have gone on teaching divinity in such a secret way.
