ONENESS

ONENESS:-

There is but one Life, one World, one Existence, everything is that ONE. The differences are of degree and not of kind. All of us are going towards the same goal. The difference between weakness and strength is one of degree. The difference between virtue and vice is one of a degree. The difference between heaven and hell is one of a degree. The difference between life and death is one of a degree. All differences in this world are of degree, and not of kind, because ONENESS is the secret of everything. All is the one, and the one manifest itself either as thought or life or soul or body. This being so, we have no right to look down with contempt upon those who are not developed exactly in the same degree as we are. Condemn none.

There is only one life, one world, and this one life and one world, appears to us to be manifold. This manifoldness is like a dream. When you dream, one dream passes away and another comes. None of your dreams are real. Dream comes one after another, scene after scene unfolds before you. So it is in this world of ninety percent misery and ten percent happiness. Perhaps after a while it will appear ninety percent happiness, and we shall call it heaven. But time comes to the humans, when the whole thing vanishes and this world appears as GOD himself, and his own sole as that God. Everything that makes for ONENESS is truth. Love is truth and hatred is false- hood, because hatred makes for multiplicity. It is hatred that separates man from man; therefore it is wrong and false. Love unites and love makes for ONENESS. For love is Existence, God Himself, and all this is the manifestation of that one love.

Scriptures is not the proof of your conduct, but you are the proof of scriptures. How do you know that book teaches the truth? Because you are truth and you feel it. What is the proof of the Christ and Buddha of the world? That you and I feel like them. That is how you and I understand that they were true. Our prophet soul is the proof of their prophet soul. Your Godhead is the proof of God Himself. If you are not a prophet there has never been anything true of God. If you are not God there never was any God and never will be.

The living God is within you, and yet you are building churches and temples and believing all sorts of imaginary non-sense. The only God to worship is the human soul in the human body. Of course, all animals are temples too, but the man is the highest, the greatest of all temples. If one cannot worship in that, no other temple will be of other advantage. The moment one has realized that God is sitting in the temple of every human body, the moment one stand in reverence before every human being and see God in him, that moment one is free from bondage, everything that binds vanishes and he/she is free. He whom you are worshiping as unknown and are seeking throughout the universe has been with you all the time. You are living through him and He is the eternal witness of the universe. When one really begin to love the world, then one understands what is meant by the brotherhood of mankind and not before.

If you cannot worship your brother man, the manifested God, how can you worship a God who is un-manifested? Even Bible says, “If you can not love your brother whom you have seen, how can you love God whom you have not seen?” If you cannot see God in the human face, how can you see him in the clouds or in images made of dull, dead matter or in the mere fictions of your brain?

Let us therefore, find God not only in Jesus of Nazareth, but also in all great ones who preceded him, in all who have come after him, and in all who are yet to come. Our worship is unbound and free. They are all the manifestations of the same Infinite GOD. They are all pure and unselfish; they suffer and give up their lives for us poor human beings.
