In plain words
You are looking at your mother; do not believe in her as just a mother. Mātṛ-devī. Think of your mother as God. You are looking at your father. Do not take ‘father’ to mean the one you think of as ‘that body to this body’. Do not think with a narrow mind. Think, “He is my father who is God.” Why did they say, “Mātṛdevobhava, pitṛdevobhava”? Do not think of your father as just a father. Think of your father as God. Do not believe in your mother as just a mother. Believe in your mother too as God. In this way, if you go on looking at whoever you see with the feeling that he is God, everything becomes a world full of God. It was on this basis that Śaṅkara said ‘Sarvaṃkhalvidaṃ brahma’. Because the pure gold took everything into itself, how much its value fell! How much its brightness fell! It is losing even its form. It is forgetting its own svarūpa.
The man of today too is in this very state. Forgetting his own svarūpa, he has fallen into Ajñāna and is suffering in darkness. Why this sorrow? Look on all as God. How easy it is! So in this there is Ānanda without measure. When you set up close bonds of relationship and kinship only with the narrow body, it stays narrow. That is the very word the Buddha spoke at the last, looking at his brother Ānanda. After the Buddha was born his mother died. His mother's sister Gautamī went on bringing him up. She brought him up as dear as her own life, bless her. So his father named him Gautama. Because a woman called Gautamī brought him up, he was named Gautama. After some time a son was born to Gautamī. They named him Ānanda. This Ānanda and Gautama grew up as one life. Even brothers born of one mother are not like that. Day by day their bond of kinship grew in that way. A few minutes before he attained nirvāṇa, the Buddha looked towards Ānand. Ānand was shedding streams of tears. “Ānanda! Your name is Ānanda. Why are you grieving? You must bear fruit worthy of your name. You must not give sorrow a chance. Your name is not sorrow. Your name is Ānanda. So you must be full of Ānanda.
