In plain words
He will not give some name or other, saying, “I am so-and-so.” A name is only what the parents gave; it is not what God gave. God gave one thing only, and that is the Ātma. That is why Kṛṣṇa Paramātma said, “My Ātma is the inner Ātma of all beings.”
The Ātma is in everyone; it is in worms and insects too. Ants go along in a line. They greet with love the ants coming toward them, kiss them, and go on ahead happily.
Among cattle too there are such close bonds of kinship. When a calf is born to a cow, the mother will not leave her young one and go to the herd. If it cannot see its mother, the calf cries, ‘Mother, Mother’. The mother comes close, calling, ‘Child, child’. Birds too have such love. When two birds were together on a tree, a hunter killed the male bird with an arrow. The female bird wept and wept, and gave up her life too. From the mouth of Vālmīki, who saw this sight, a śloka came forth unbidden. This very event became the beginning of the writing of the great poem, the Rāmāyaṇa.
When even beasts and birds have such love and such close bonds of kinship, why are these lacking in man? Beasts and birds too teach man many lessons. But however many ways they teach him, man does not open his eyes. In the same way, however much Swami tells you, it does not get into your heads. Only when you act as you are told will all these become clear to you.
Reflect, ‘Who am I?’: that is true dhyāna
When someone abuses you, you are hurt, aren't you! In the same way, do you not know that when you abuse others, they too are hurt? Yet whoever abuses us, strikes us, or does anything at all, we must regard it all as nothing but God's play.
