Thoughts and Inspirations for the Day 22nd May 2009

[Mani kutty]

The entire universe has been created out of the Will of God. God creates the universe and sustains it. The universe ultimately merges in God, the source of its origin. The universe is known as Vishwam. The correct meaning of Vishwam is that which is self-expansive and full of bliss. Vishwam is not merely a manifestation of physical matter; it is a direct manifestation of God. It is the very embodiment of the Cosmic Personality, with all His limbs. God is the primal cause behind the universe. The universe is the reflection of God. Vishwam and Vishnu (God) are not different from each other. This can be understood only through Viveka (discrimination).

A potter collects clay from the river bank, mixes water in it, puts it on a wheel and makes pots. The pot cannot hold water unless it undergoes refinement through fire. Just as a pot becomes strong when it is processed in fire, man becomes God when he undergoes refinement in the fire of wisdom. Clay gains value when it is refined and made into a pot. The metal gold gains added value and strength when it is made into a beautiful ornament. Likewise, refinement manifests the latent power in man and increases his value.

All is God, God is All.
God is Existwnce-Consciousness-Bliss and has become this Universe.
