In plain words
Keeping this in view, our ancients went on giving their children names of God.
Every man has both ability and resolve. Only he who has taken up the sacred resolve to see God can be called a true man. Man makes many efforts to know where divinity is. Why search for the God who is within himself? God is the embodiment of Prema. Satya is His very nature. “Satyānnāsti paro dharmaḥ”: there is no Dharma higher than Satya. But man, unable to recognise this Satya, takes untruth for truth to fulfil his wishes and goes on nourishing it. First of all, man must try to recognise his true nature. ‘Satyaṃ jñānam anantaṃ’: this is man's true nature. To open the eyes of man, who cannot recognise his true nature, the Vedas, śāstras, itihāsas and purāṇas have been given. In every man there is Satya, there is Dharma, there is Prema. Sat, Cit and Ānanda are man's chief qualities. ‘Sat’ means that which is eternal. It never changes. ‘Cit’ means awareness. The awareness in man is the very form of God. Only he who recognises such a principle of awareness is a true man. Whether you say Sat Cit Ānanda or say Satyaṃ jñānam anantaṃ, the words differ, but the meaning is one.
In this world we hear about many kinds of doctrines, called Dvaita, Advaita and Viśiṣṭādvaita. The essence of all of them is the name Keśava. ‘Ka’ means Brahmā, ‘Īśa’ means Śiva, ‘Va’ means Viṣṇu. So the Keśava principle itself is the cause of creation, sustenance and dissolution. If man would recognise his own principle, he must hold the name Keśava firmly within himself.
The essence of all religions is one
In ancient times the ṛṣis carried out many studies and researches to recognise divinity, and went on proclaiming to the world, “Vedāham etaṃ puruṣaṃ mahāntam āditya varṇaṃ tamasaḥ parastāt.”
