In plain words
All forms and all names belong to the one divine principle
The sixth question is a very strange one:
In our pūjā room we keep pictures of all: Rāma, Kṛṣṇa, Allah, Īśvara, Jesus. In the middle of these we keep Swami's picture too. ‘Is it wrong?’ they ask.
If faith that God is the form of all is firm, what is there to fear in whatever picture you keep? Worship Rāma, worship Īśvara, worship Allah, worship Jesus, worship Zoroaster, worship Sai. Hold to the feeling that all are one. A small example. I give it now and then. In India there are many names for sweets. People make wheat halwa, badam kheer, gulab jamun, jilebi, laddu, Mysore pak. But though their forms and names are different, the sugar in them all is one. Worship Rāma, worship Sai, worship Viṣṇu, worship Allah, worship Jesus; hold to this, that the divinity in all is one. Hold to one feeling. When you hold, ‘All are one,’ this difference does not trouble you in the least. If you do not like the pictures of the others, keep whichever you like. If Sai Bābā is not to your liking, take away Sai Bābā's picture too. If you say you do not like Rāma, take away Rāma's picture. What matters is to pray with Prema, not these pictures. Now and then I tell our children this. A boy was going to his examinations. He was not good at mathematics. This Maths examination was coming the next day. He worshipped Swami. That day he failed in mathematics. ‘All right, I have failed in maths’: so he took Swami's picture and threw it into the cupboard. On the second day, the second paper in mathematics. That day he put up Rāma's picture. He worshipped. That day he did even worse. On the third day he had to go to the exam. The accounts paper. What can one who does not know Maths do in accounts? He did not do it well. He took Rāma's picture and threw it into the cupboard.
