In plain words
Go means the cow. Go means the brāhmaṇa. All of them alike refer to the principle of Brahman within oneself, and to that alone. Humanness is what is joined with the Veda. What does Veda mean? ‘Ananto vaivedaḥ’: what is infinite is the Veda. This itself is Jñāna.
What Is Jñāna?
What does Jñāna mean? The vision of non-duality is Jñāna. That which is not two. One, and only one. This itself, in the language of Vedānta: ekaṃ sat viprā bahudāvadanti. Many people have gone on giving it many names. They have gone on giving it the names that suited them. What is there in this tumbler? Nīru. This is Telugu. Telugu people say nīru. The English say water. Hindi people say pānī. Tamil people say tanni. Sanskrit people say vāri. The languages are different, quite different, but they cannot change the water, can they? In the same way, divinity is one alone. Ekaprabhūko aneka nāṃ. We worship it with many names. But what is, is one alone: that itself is aham, aham. This very thing you call “I, I”. “I” is the very first name of God. Let us utter that very “I”. From the man too poor to eat to the millionaire, if you ask, “Who are you, sir?”, it is “I am so-and-so, I am so-and-so”: without the “I” there is no way to say “so-and-so”. That I. That itself is the true principle. In this I there are two kinds. The one-letter I is one; the three letters eye is the other. The one-letter I is the Ātma. The three letters eye is the body. So the body is made up of the three guṇas. The Ātma is that which stays as oneness, without any guṇa whatever. It has no guṇa whatever. Nirguṇam, nirañjanam, sanātanam, niketanam. Brahmānandaṃ paramasukhadaṃ kevalaṃ jñānamūrtiṃ, dvandātītaṃ triguṇa rahitaṃ, tatvamasyādi lakṣyaṃ ekaṃ nityaṃ vimala macalaṃ sarvadhī sākṣibhūtaṃ bhāvātītaṃ triguṇarahitaṃ. All of these apply to what is called this I. However many apply it, it is seen as one alone. I told you yesterday: in mathematics, 1+1+..... becomes four, 10, 20, 30. But I+I+....=I is what it becomes. Put together a crore of I's: the I becomes one alone. What is in everyone is that one single letter, I, alone. That itself is the inner Ātma of all beings. That itself is ‘Īśāvāsya midaṃ jagat’. ‘Ekaṃsat viprā bahudā vadanti.’
