Each and every Individual is God himself - Swami

[Guest guest]

Ekam Sath Viprah Bahudha Vadanti (God is one, but the wise refer to Him by various names). 'Aham, the principle of Atma that is present in all of us, is God. So, every individual is God Himself.

 

If you question where God is, some people say that He is present in their heart. It is not a proper answer. When you say the kerchief is in your hand, you are bigger than the kerchief. Likewise, when you say God is in you, it means you are superior to God! Hence, it is not proper to say that God is in you. The truth is, you are God. Everything is in you.

 

Sarvatah panipadam Tat sarvathokshi siromukham, sarvatah sruthimalloke sarvamavruthya tishthati (with hands, feet, eyes, heads, mouth and ears pervading everything, He permeates the entire universe). In fact, the entire world is present in your heart. Hence, it is said, Daivam manusha rupena (God appears in the form of a human being).
