Passage 10

In English

Actually love is another name of . In fact, love, , , or - all these names carry the same meaning. There is nothing in this world except love. But, unfortunately we are not able to understand what love is. We consider Love as relating to the world. We consider it to be physical. In fact, it does not at all relate to the physical realm. It is truth, verily. “You are not one person, but three - the one you think you are; the one others think you are and the one you really are. “What others think is all imagination. The Self within you is the only truth. Who is this Self? That is “I”. This “I” is the same in all. The Christians worship the Cross (†). The cross is a symbol exhorting people to get rid of ego. No one is different from you. Hence, you must always bear the truth that all are one (I). Those that are born out of , grow and perish ultimately (namely the physical bodies) are unreal. Hence, you are always in accordance with the Vedic declaration (I am ). It is only when you consider yourself to be that you can realise this truth. Till then, you will be confined to the different names like , , etc., that have been given to you by your parents for the purpose of identification. Surely, you did not come into this world with any name. When someone enquires from the parents about the name of their newly born child, they may reply that no name has been given to the child yet. It is thus clear that all the names given to us are by someone only and not innate. They are for the purpose of identification of the concerned individuals. There are millions and millions of people inhabiting this world, but none seems to have realised the truth that they are God. Unfortunately, today we are leading our lives with names given to us by someone.
