In plain words
Say you have come to love a girl. Who is that girl? You yourself! It is just as if you loved yourself! When you think of that girl as separate, you call her ‘my wife’. But when you recognise oneness, the two are one. A man began his speech at a meeting: “Brothers and sisters … … except one,” he said. Who was that one? “My wife,” he said. His wife too was at that meeting. But it was only by the tying of the marriage thread that she became his wife, wasn't it? Otherwise, who is the wife! Who is the husband! So all are one. Recognise this oneness well. In this world there is oneness in everything. That very oneness turns into manyness.
Not everyone who has studied is called educated
Embodiments of Prema! Students! Make no distinction of ‘those people’ and ‘these people’. All are one. Be alike to everyone. Only then will you be called educated. Otherwise you may count as people who have merely learned to read and write. There is a great difference between those who have studied and the educated. Who is an educated person? One who recognises that all are one. What does ‘education’ mean? Studies. What does vidyā mean? That which shows oneness; that which fills our life with light. If we lose this light called vidyā, we have to live in the darkness called ignorance.
Embodiments of Prema! Turn the Prema in you towards God and make it grow. If you turn your love towards someone or other in the world, it keeps changing again and again. Live as one, without making any distinctions. Share what comes to you with your fellow men. When we want life to be lasting, we must experience oneness. When there is the feeling of oneness, no difference arises, no anger arises, no wrong is done.
