Externally divinity is ubiquitous, in every atom of creation and internally it is situated within as the Indweller, the soul. Recognition of this leads to an attitude of Sam Darshana or Same-sightedness, the understanding that every individual and every facet of creation is imbued with innate divinity. Therefore every individual, creature and aspect of creation has to be honoured and treated with respect and consideration. One should therefore apply the same norms to others which one wishes for oneself. While our world looks diverse, in essence it is one grand unity in apparent diversity.
QUOTES FROM THE GITA
”He sees, who sees the Supreme Lord, remaining the same in all beings, the imperishable in the perishable.”
”The knowledge by which the one Imperishable Being is seen in all existence, undivided in the divided, know that, that knowledge is Satvik ( true).”
”But that knowledge by which one sees in all beings manifold entities of different kinds varying from one another – know that, that knowledge is Rajsik ( confused arising from egoism).”
”And that knowledge by which one believes that a single life is all there is, which with its unreasoning and trivial view sees not the cause, or the external reality, that knowledge is Tamsik ( false arising from ignorance ).”
”They rise above this transitory existence whose minds abide in the sense of equality, for Brahman is unblemished and the same in all, such people become established in Brahman.”
”His mind being harmonized in Yoga, he sees himself in all beings and all beings in himself; he sees the same in all.”
”He who sees Me everywhere and sees all in Me, he never becomes lost to Me, nor do I become lost to him.”
”That Yogi, O Arjun, is regarded as the supreme, who judges pleasure and pain everywhere by the same yardstick he applies to himself.”
Behold now, O Gudakesh ( one who has conquered sleep – Arjun), the whole universe of the moving and the unmoving, joined together as one in my body and whatever else you desire to see.”
There in the body of the God of gods, Pandava then beheld the whole universe, in its manifest diversity, drawn together into one.”
”He is undivided and yet He seems divided in beings. He is to be known as the supporter of beings. He devours and He generates.”.
