Universe

The universe is the macrocosmos; the individual being is the microcosmos. The first is the Brahmanda, the second is the Pindanda, but the basic Truth of both is One and the same. That One is independent and unrelated to any other fact or thing. When That is realised in this manner, it can be called Brahman. When it enters the awareness as the Universe, it is referred to as Parabrahman. The basic truth of the universe is Atma. The basic Truth of the individual is also Atma. All that appears as different from Atma is of the region of delusion, or Mithya. The universe is composed of the five elements and is cognisable by the five senses of perception; he who is the master of the five elements can tread on all. (SSS Vol.8, p. 11)

 

The universe is the body of God; every particle in it is filled with God, His Glory, His Might, His Inscrutability. Believe that God is the Inner Truth in every thing and being. He is Truth, He is Wisdom. He is Eternal. Be humble, before the evidences of His Power and Majesty. (SSS Vol.9, p. 68)

 

The Universe, which is based in the triple nature of time and which is sustained by Trinity Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshvara, is permeated by the Divine in the form of the three Gunas - Sattva, Rajas and Tamas. In short, everything in the cosmos is indeed Brahman Sarvam Khalvidam Brahma. (ICS , p. 105)

 

The Universe is an instrument to reveal the majesty of God. The inner firmament in the heart of man is also equally a revelation of His Glory. He is the Breath of one’s breath. Since he has no specific form, He cannot be indicated by words. Nor can His mystery be penetrated by the other senses. He is beyond the reach of asceticism, beyond the bounds of Vedic rituals. (SSS Vol.23, p. 9)

 

The Universe is illumined through and through by the splendour of the Lord. The Universe shines forever in the glory of the Lord. When the Light of the Lord is withdrawn from it, the Universe cannot shine. The Universe and its Lord are eternally bound by all pervading light and love. Embodiments of Love! Good thoughts in mind, good words in speech, Good steps in every deed - When these are not found, How can Sai pat and praise and give you joy? Decide and declare the answer to yourself. (SSS Vol.16, p. 54)

 

In the first stage, the thought of Brahman should be firmly established in the heart. When this is done, one has to look upon the whole universe as a manifestation of the Divine. One must realise that the Five Elements (space, air, fire, water and earth), the five Pranas (vital breaths) Prana, Vyana, Apana, Samana, Udana), the five sense organs, the mind and speech, all these have emanated from the Brahman. All that is beautiful and great in Nature, the lofty mountains, the vast oceans, the stars in the sky must be regarded as proclaiming the glory and power of the Divine. The sweet fragrance of flowers, the delectable juice of fruits should be regarded as tokens of God’s love and compassion. The entire universe must be considered as the temple of God. (SSS Vol.16, p. 91)

 

The universe is the Field where God sports. Be aware of this fact, every moment of consciousness, and there is nothing more you need for happy existence. For, you woll then contact God in every thing through every thought at every place and at moment. His Leela is evident in the smallest flower and the most distinct star. The joy that you can derive from the comtemplation of those proofs of Providence is indescribable. Krishna said in the Gita that He is ever by the side of the joyous being. Be joyful and make others to share in that joy. To limit oneself and be happy while self-centered is bad… When you have the Vedantic Vision, the place where you are, will thereby be Kailasa or Heaven for you. (NNSG Vol.3, p. 40)

 

The Universe around you is a pleasant garden full of charming patches of many-hued flowers filled with fragrance and nectarine elixir---each flower-bed being a Religion, which attracts the loyalty of millions of seekers. The garden too is God; God dances in that garden at His own handiwork, gladdening the flowers with the magic melody of the flute. Be full of joy and love; share that joy and love with all.
