On the auspicious occasion of the Aradhana Mahotsavam, what is the truth about Bhagawan we must always remember and what should it mean to us? Bhagawan mercifully explains to us today.
We ascribe different names to the same principle, according to our convenience for reference. For example, this body has been given the name Sathya. This name is given to the body and not to Me. I am not the body. I am not the mind. I am not the intellect. I am not the Chitta. I am not imagination. Bhagawan is Bhagawan!
You must develop such firm faith. It is possible that the minds of some people are susceptible to some disturbances due to changes in food habits and recreation. It is also possible that they may be influenced by some friends in this regard. Hence, I advise you to join the company of noble souls.
It is possible that everyone can attain Mukti (liberation). But, when? The moment you establish yourself in the truth “I am Atma”, you will attain liberation. Always think, “Swami is in me”, “I am in Swami”.
However, there will be no use if you simply repeat, “I am Swami”, I am Swami”, with a fickle mind. Develop firm faith, “I am Swami, I am God, I am God.” It is only when you develop that firm conviction, you will attain Divinity which is Nirgunam, Niranjanam, Sanatanam, Niketanam, Nitya, Shuddha, Buddha, Mukta, Nirmala Swarupinam (God is attributeless, unsullied, the final abode, eternal, pure, enlightened, free and embodiment of sacredness).
