In plain words
Embodiments of Prema!
Today, it being the ladies' day, women have gathered here in large numbers, giving much joy and enjoying joy. Here there is no such difference as woman and man. People have spoken of woman and man only according to the body each one wears, but in everyone dwells the very principle of Brahman. All this is indeed Brahman. Everyone keeps on wanting God. Many sages, yogis and renunciants did tapas, longing to see God. But where is God? God in human form. Whichever Avatāra you look at, when God took a human form He protected all human beings.
Embodiments of Prema!
God has no special qualities and no special forms. God has infinite forms. It is not possible to say He is one. Once Nārada said to Nārāyaṇa, ‘Please come down to the earth and grant darśan.’ Then Nārāyaṇa said, ‘Even though there is the power of Brahman, that power of Brahman does not work at all. Only when both negative and positive are there does light come. God is there as the positive. So God joins in them and gives joy to all only when the jīvas are made to grow.’ So, with Nārada and the sages all wholly offered to God, negative and positive join together, and God comes down full of great power. So God is not the form of Brahman alone; He is the human form too. That Brahman is in everyone. The Lord of all beings. Godhood itself is present in all beings. When you think of him as husband, he appears as the husband. When you say son, he appears as the son. When you think of her as daughter, she appears as the daughter. People say, ‘Today a grandson was born in our house.’ That grandson too is Brahman itself. Whatever is born, Brahman lies merged in it. God does not come alone; God together with the jīva, and the jīva together with God, the two remain united as one. God has no such thing as a form of His own. Forms and names belong only to the jīva, not to God. Whoever you look at, it is God Himself. You are all nothing but embodiments of God. Being embodiments of God, you are seeing God. There are little birds. God is in these birds too. Nowhere is there a place without God or a form without God to be seen. But God takes on that form because our desires are of that kind. Parents hope in many ways, ‘We must give our boy a great education; we must send him to foreign lands.’ From whomever they come, those words are the words of God. Śabdabrahmamayi, Carācaramayi, Jyotirmayi, Vāṅmayi, Parātparamayi, Māyāmayi, Śrīmayi: these are titles God has. So, whoever speaks, we must think, ‘God Himself is speaking.’ Abuse, praise and contempt all come out of a human mouth. If anyone scolds us and we think, ‘God Himself has scolded,’ the mind will not be shaken in the least. God has come in this form and spoken abuse in this way. So, whether one beats or scolds, all of it is God. Whatever happens, we must make firm in the heart the truth that God Himself brings it about. We must not look on the person facing us as an individual. Whoever comes before us and speaks, we must hold firmly the faith that God Himself has come in this form and is speaking. If instead we think, ‘This man is a stranger, that man is a stranger,’ anger, distress, envy, jealousy, ostentation and such bad qualities rise up in us. Anger comes like this because of the feeling that all these people outside are separate.
