In plain words
Whatever we see in the world is God; whatever we experience is God; whatever we eat is God. That is why it is said, ‘All this is indeed Brahman’. Though it appears to our sight in many forms, it remains oneness. That principle of the Ātma is in you yourself.
‘Ekaṃ sat’, it is said. To experience oneness is satsaṅga. Satsaṅga is what is joined with oneness, not what is joined with manyness. Today people think that wherever ten spiritual sādhakas gather, that is satsaṅga. But that is not steady; it changes. For those whom you think good may turn bad. All are unsteady beings. All are passing relationships. How can what is unsteady and passing give lasting Ānanda? Because they take such passing relationships for satsaṅga, no one to this day has been able to recognise the power of satsaṅga. Tell me your company, I shall tell you what you are. When you make friends with those who are passing, what you gain is only a passing relationship. You must make friends with divinity, which is eternal and true. Only then will you gain Ānanda that is eternal and true. That Ānanda is in you yourselves; it is not to be found in the world outside.
All are in God
The things in this world are all unsteady substances, objects made up of what is seen. All these are contained in the unseen principle of the Ātma. When asked, “Where is God?”, some say, ‘He is in me’. That is not the right answer. You must say, ‘I am in God’. For this whole world is in God. When you say, ‘This flower is in my hand’, the flower has become smaller than you, has it not! In the same way, if you say, ‘God is in me’, it comes to mean that you are greater than God. You are in God. In truth, you yourself are God. “I am God. God is I.
