The Spiritual Import of the Mahabharata and the Bhagavadgita : Ch-11. Part-9.


Chapter 11: God Present Within Us :

Part-9.

God is present as the superhuman element in the human individual, and minus that, the human individuality vanishes into an airy nothing.

The root of our personality is God Himself, and the root of anything, for the matter of that, is this Being.

The gods in heaven, the angels in all the superior realms, all human beings, everything created in this universe, all objects and all subjects, everything blended together gives us a picture of the supreme unity of Godhood.

If this idea could be entertained, if it could be practicable for any human being to think like this at the time of passing, liberation is certain.

"Prayana-kale’pi ca mam te vidur yukta-cetasah" :

"The mind has to be united with God—this is called yoga. Ultimately yoga means union with God. It can be union with anything from the point of view of the vision of God. It is ultimately a union with the essential essence of any particular thing in the world. You can get united with anything in the world and it can be equivalent to uniting with God, provided this unity is not merely with the empirical form and name of the visible object, but with the internal essence or content of the object."
