Remember this at all times, because it is the main principle of the
Gita – Vasudev Sarvam (All is God). If you do not believe in the
other, then there is no “All”, there is only Vasudeva (Paramatma).
The All is our body and the World. The All is everything that is not
your Self. The All remains till such time as we give it importance,
and we believe that it exists. As soon as we realise that the All
has no existence of its own and it should have no importance, the
All merges into Vasudeva (God). The sarvam becomes Vasudev. Then
there is only Vasudev (God). There is nothing else, there was
nothing else, there will be nothing else, there can be nothing else -
Save and Except Vasudeva (God). Remain ever established in Vasudeva
(Paramatma). It is because you have given existence to “asat”
(unreal) and thus given it importance. Giving existence and
importance to the other (asat), is the main flaw. It simply IS and
that is “Existence”. It has only been believed that it is not
realized, but it is already realized. “Nasato Vidhyate Bhavo,
Nabhavo Vidhyate Satah” (Gita 2:16). There is only Vasudeva (Only
God).
There is true and there is false. What is false is false because of
the true. The false gets its existence only because of the existence
of the truth. Without the truth the false has no power whatsoever.
It cannot even exist. We say that ‘All is God’ only till such time
as we give the All an existence and any importance. Otherwise, it is
just God that exists in everything. God is already there. We do not
have to do anything to attain Him. The mistake that we have made is
that we have given the All importance and given it existence due to
our ignorance of the truth. Therefore the All exists in our mind in
opposition to the IS (God). God IS, and is always there, and is ever
attained. No matter however hard we try, we cannot attain what does
not exist – i.e. the All. As soon as a person realises this, his
work is over. You attain and understand that God is All and All is
God. This is Vasudeva Sarvam.
You have to do nothing for your Self. You should do all you can for
the world without wanting anything in return. In Karma Yog, there
is nothing to do for the Self, everything is to be done for the
world. Even though you are doing, you should never think that you
are the doer. You are a mere tool in His Hands. If you start
thinking that you are the doer, you will get attached to the fruits
of your action and start enjoying the result of your actions – which
will bind you to this world and give you tensions and worries. Doing
for others with a selfless motive is Karma Yog. This can unite the
whole world – all religions (Hindus, Christians, Muslims, Jews,
Parsis, etc.). This is ever attained in any religions. “Bade
bhaagya Manushya Janam pawaa” It has nothing to do with the body.
It is all about discrimination (vivek). “Hai so sunder hai sadaa,
nahin so sunder naahi… hai so dikhe naahi”. We are seeing what is
not, and not what IS. One is a knower and the other is to be known.
Give things of nature, back to nature. We have the ability to
know. The intellect to know what is right and what is wrong is only
given to humans. Human beings have the ability to know this, that
we are ever established in “Is-ness”. It is not about simply
learned knowledge, it is realizing this. Not like learning a
language, it is divine knowledge, true knowledge. “Sa sarvavit
bhajati maam, sarva bhaaveneh bhaavitah……Iti guhyatam shaastra”
One who realizes this, has nothing remaining to be done, to be
known, and to be attained. “The one who realizes this, worships and
is devoted to Me.” That One who realizes this, never forgets Me,
and I never forget Him, says Bhagwaan. “Yo maam pachyati sarvatra,
sarvamcha mai pachyati” Bhagwaan is an amazing player. In all is
Paramatma (God), and All are in Paramatma (God). Realize this in
solitude.
Bhagwaan IS. Everything is Bhagwaan. We see the world with our
eyes. Everything is happening as part of His divine play, as He is
a player. “Ban gaye Aap akele sab kuch, naam dharaa sansaar” “You
alone became everything, and that everything we call the World”. So
we will naturally see only the world and not the power or truth
behind the world. In fact, we are all situated in the IS, which is
always there and will always remain. The IS is in ALL and the ALL is
in the IS. The One is in everything and the Everything is in the One.
