Bhagavan Krishna says very clearly in Bhagavad Gita, ‘All life forms are part of your own self. That is the ultimate truth.’
It is a very subtle subject. Please listen intensely.
All life forms are part of you – this is the truth.
But because of moham, again & again you lose the experience of the ultimate truth; you forget this truth again and again.
Moham means, the confusion, the delusion that destroys the self.
Moham takes away this truth that all life forms are part of you.
This is the truth of Advaita!
Do not miss this truth!
Please understand, if you take a handful of clay and understand it thoroughly, then you will know all the clay on planet Earth – because clay is clay is clay. The clay in your hand is not different from the clay anywhere else on the planet.
Same way, you are Life. Then all life forms on planet Earth are the same as you! The life in your body is not different from any other life in any other body.
You may feel that you are almost understanding this, but not..!
Actually, you do accept many times that all life forms are part of you, and you are part of all life forms. Some of you may have even experienced a glimpse of this. But the problem is, you don’t make your life’s
critical decisions based on this truth. When you need to make serious decisions in your life, this truth is forgotten. Why? Because the cognizance you take of the problem becomes more powerful than the ultimate solution you carry in your inner space!
All of you have thousands of ultimate solutions – love, compassion, joy, Advaita. But when a problem comes, when you need to take cognizance of some issue, when you are expected to make decisions, the problem looks more powerful to you than the ultimate solution, the spiritual truth you already carry inside you. The moment you encounter a problem, there is nothing but confusion inside you, and all your ultimate truths are forgotten.
Just be aware at the moment of crisis, just drop the confusion that rises up inside you, and you can have a spiritual solution for even the day-to-day problems in your life. Advaita is the most powerful spiritual solution you can give yourself.
