In plain words
Man himself is Brahman embodied, before your eyes. Man himself is the embodiment of Satya. One must reveal divinity in humanness itself. Revealing divinity is the very sādhana man has to do.
Sat, i, yam: Satyam
Before you eat your food, you pray, “Brahmārpaṇaṃ .....” But where is Brahman? He is right within you. That is why the answer comes at once from within you: “Ahaṃ vaiśvānaro bhūtvā .....” “My dear! In the form of Vaiśvānara I dwell within you and digest the food you eat. I am not separate from you,” God answers. Food is not merely the stuff we eat. The whole world is made of food! A body that came forth from one food eats a body that came forth from another food. One body is food for another. So what eats is food; what is eaten is food; what earns is food, and what spends is food. That is why they said, “Annaṃ Brahma.” Satya is what creates food. The word satyam joins three sounds: sat, i and yam. Sat is the jīva, i is food, yam is the sun. Foodstuffs are made by the sun alone. And man lives by these very foodstuffs. So Satya is the foundation of everything. Our ancients held Satya and Dharma as dear as life itself. But man today forgets Satya and longs for food. He cannot recognise the truth that without Satya no food is to be had.
‘Soham’ means ‘I am God’
At this sports festival the children played many games, sang songs and won victories. But they must not grow proud, saying, ‘I have achieved it.’ They must recognise that the divinity within them is what made them play so many games and sing these songs. Some children played games they had never played before and won; children who had never once sung are singing songs too. Where did all these come from? They came from within. Who is it that dwells within?
