The creation emerges from truth and merges into truth

Is there a place in the cosmos where truth does not exist?

Visualise this pure and unsullied truth. (Telugu Poem)

One has to realise what is meant by Suddha Sattva (pure consciousness). You have witnessed the creation of Hiranyagarbha Lingas several times by Me. That Hiranyagarbha Linga is a symbol of pure consciousness. It is omnipresent. (Swami created a Hiranyagarbha Linga and showed it to all present.) Look, this is verily Suddha Sattva (pure consciousness)

There is no place in this universe where this pure consciousness is not present. It is therefore a mistake to limit that omnipresent pure consciousness to a particular form. All are embodiments of pure consciousness. It is present in all human beings in a miniscule form like an atom. The pure consciousness assumes different forms in different ages as Avatars. It manifested as Narasimha,Vamana, etc., in the Krita Yuga. The same pure consciousness assumed the form of Shri Rama in Treta Yuga and Shri Krishna in Dwapura Yuga. Shri Rama was accompanied by Sita in Treta Yuga, who led the life of an ideal wife and set an example to mankind in chastity. Sita, in spite of the great difficulties she encountered living in exile and spending ten long months in captivity in Lanka, never lost her poise. She steadfastly held on to Ramanama with single-minded devotion. She never wavered even for a moment. She gave up food and sleep totally and constantly contemplated on Ramanama. She could nor visualise any other form except that of Shri Rama, who is Ekatma sarva bhutantaratma (one Atma that dwells in all beings). Even in birds and beasts, she was seeing only the form of Shri Rama. That one atmic principle is referred to as Hiranyagarbha, which is pure gold. Pure gold is always referred to as 24 carat gold.

God is always said to manifest 16 facets. Hence, He is referred to as Purna Tattva (Embodiment of fullness).

ॐ पूर्णमदः पूर्णमिदं पूर्णात्पुर्णमुदच्यते
पूर्णस्य पूर्णमादाय पूर्णमेवावशिष्यते ॥
ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः

Poornamadah poornamidam,

Poornat poornamudachyate,

Poornasyapoornamadaya,

Poornamevavashishyate.

(That is full, this is full. When the full is taken out of the full, what remains is again the full.)

(Sanskrit shloka) – (SSS Vol.40, p. 183)

During the period of Rama’s exile in the forest, Maricha, the demon donned the form of a golden deer to entice Sita. Sita knew very well that a golden deer could not be found in the world. However, keeping with her role in the Divine drama of Ramayana she expressed a desire to possess the golden deer and requested Shri Rama to capture it for her. Rama then had to run after that golden deer, in order to make her happy. When Sita thus developed a desire for a worldly object, the very next moment she was separated from Rama, the Divinity. It is common knowledge that the more you develop desires for worldly things, the more you become distant from Divinity. Less luggage more comfort, makes travel a pleasure. Therefore, we have to reduce our luggage of desires. Sita had all along reduced her desires in order to be in close proximity to Rama. But the moment she developed a desire for golden deer, Rama moved away from her. She could not bear the agony of that separation. Day in and day out, she was contemplating only on Rama and none else. No other thought developed in her mind. That is how she became a great pativrata. Finally when Rama killed Ravana and released her from captivity, He subjected Sita to a test, before taking her back into His fold. He directed her to enter the fire and come out unscathed. The god of fire appeared before Rama and testified, ‘Sita is a great pativrata. She does not at all think of any other matter but constantly contemplates on Your name.’ Why did Rama put Sita to such a test? It is only to make the world know about her chastity. Later, when Rama returned to Ayodhya and started ruling His kingdom, a washerman engaged in a quarrel with his wife commented, ‘Shri Rama took back His wife, Sita who lived for ten months in Lanka in the captivity of Ravana. I am not so foolish.’ The news reached Rama. Again Rama put Sita to test by forsaking her. He knew that she was a great pativrata, but he took decision to make the world know about her chastity. There is no other individual who can equal the chastity of Sita. Rama wanted to prove the chastity and devotion of Sita to the world. (SSS Vol.40, p. 184)
