See God in All

[Guest guest]

SEE GOD IN ALL

 

Sri Ramakrishna -- I have now come to a stage of realization in which I see that

God is walking in every human form and manifesting Himself alike through the

sage and the sinner, the virtuous and the vicious. Therefore when I meet

different people I say to myself, " God in the form of the saint, God in the form

of the sinner, God in the form of the righteous, God in the form of the

unrighteous. "

 

Holy Mother -- If you want peace of mind, do not find fault with others. Rather

see your own faults. Learn to make the whole world your own. No one is a

stranger, my child; the whole world is your own.

 

Swami Vivekananda -- This is the gist of all worship -- to be pure and to do

good to others. He who sees Siva in the poor, in the weak, and in the diseased,

really worships Siva, and if he sees Siva only in the image, his worship is but

preliminary. He who has served and helped one poor man seeing Siva in him,

without thinking of his cast, creed, or race, or anything, with him Siva is more

pleased than with the man who sees Him only in temples.

 

Buddha -- Goodwill toward all beings is the true religion; cherish in your

hearts boundless goodwill to all that lives.

 

Guru Nanak -- God is one, but He has innumerable forms. He is the Creator of all

and He Himself takes the human form.

 

Jesus Christ -- But I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse

you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use

you, and persecute you. That you may be the children of your Father which is in

heaven; for he makes his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain

on the just and on the unjust.

 

Judaism -- You shall not hate your brother in your heart, but you shall reason

with your neighbor, lest you bear in sin because of him. You shall not take

vengeance or bear any grudge against the sons of your own people, but you shall

love your neighbor as yourself.

 

Krishna -- He who sees the Supreme Lord abiding alike in all beings, and not

perishing when they perish - verily, he alone sees.

 

Mohammed -- All God's creatures are His family; and he is the most beloved of

God who tries to do most good to God's creatures.

 

Native American -- Every dawn as it comes is a holy event, and every day is

holy, for the light comes from your Father, Wakan-Tanka; and also always

remember that the two-leggeds and all other peoples who stand upon this earth

are sacred and should be treated as such.

 

Zoroaster -- Forget self and identify Ahura Mazda in every being and in

everything.

 

Rama -- It is the shadow of the Paramatman that you see reflected in all the

living beings as the Jivatman. Don't you see the great sky reflected in each and

every lake or river?

 

Sankara -- Vishnu alone it is who dwells in you, in me, in everything; Empty of

meaning is your wrath, and the impatience you reveal. Seeing yourself in

everyone, have done with all diversity.

 

Vedas -- The wise man beholds all beings in the Self, and the Self in all

beings; for that reason he does not hate anyone.
