Divinity is present in everyone in myriad ways and innumerable forms: Example of Nagayya actor
I am the seed for all the elements and the entire Creation. So, there is no birth for divinity. All births and all forms are His. Yesterday I told you. Lakshmidevi brought wheat bread and when a dog ate it, Baba said he ate it. God doesn’t differentiate between the living beings. I am the dog. I am fox. I am human. I am God. Names and Forms are different, but divinity is only one. This is the principle of oneness or unity. Therefore, there is only one Mind, but it takes varied forms. What is the reason for this? Because of the fusion of various thoughts, Mind changes its appearance(s). Whatever form it dons, it has to act in conformity to that form. Form cannot be different from the act and vice versa. In olden days there was a great actor known as Nagayya. Nagayya enacted the role of Thyagayya in a film. When playing the role of Thyagayya, he has to think of Thyagayya only but cannot behave as Nagayya. On the screen, he is Thyagayya. Behind the screen he is Nagayya. Likewise, in this Creation you are a special person. Beyond the frontiers of this Creation, you and I are one and the same. That’s how the Mind manifests in different forms. Mind is the same. It is the cause for good and bad and for attachment and detachment. I always repeat an example to students as new batches would have joined. There is a lock. It has a key. Lock and key are two separate items. But when the key is inserted in the lock and turned right, the lock gets locked. When it is turned to the left, it gets opened. Lock is the same and key is the same but the direction of movement of the key is decisive to unlock or lock. In the same way, our heart is the lock and Mind is the key. Keep your Mind in the heart and take it towards the Divine. There is detachment. If you turn your Mind on the other side, you see the worldly attachments. If you see with a divine feeling, you see divinity everywhere. Yet one wants to see God, when it is all pervasive. Oh-mad cap, you want to see God who is present all over. Still you say you want to see God. What is your imagination of God? How do you think that God looks like? You do not know how He looks like. In such a case how can you recognize God? It is foolishness. Everything is divine. If you have faith in God, it is enough.
