Bhagwan Mahavira

Dear Ones,

The above truth follows from the following simple truth(s):

1. We are created by our parents, our parents from their parents and so on.
2. The world is created out of a combination of 5 elements-Space, Air, Fire, Water and Earth.
3. All the human body of our parents, their parents... and retracing to the first human being is made out of only these 5 elements. 
4. Who created these 5 elements? Obviously God, as God without form is the only existence prior to the 5 elements and hence, the cause of 5 elements can only be God. 
5. Did God have any special equipment, special material for creating 5 elements? No, because there can be no material, no equipment which is not made of 5 elements. Want to check? Please look around,  make a list of all material that you can see, including your own body and then surf google to find out how each of those materials are created. You will find that they are created by a combination of 1 or more of the 5 elements. 
6.  So, When God existed alone without form, He could not have had anything except Himself, without form, in essence.
7. So, while creating the 5 elements, it is evident that He could have only poured HIMSELF, HIS OWN ESSENCE for the creation of 5 elements.
8. And, hence, it is already proven above that there is no creation/no object that is not made out of 5 elements, from the above, it follows that there is but GOD in every created matter in this creation. 

So, at intellectual level, it is proven beyond doubt that we have no separate existence of God.

But How to experience this non-dual existence as God?

Only through intense contemplation in the path of wisdom or through reaching Atma Nivedanam in the path of Bhakti!

It is sufficient to know through logics that we and God are one.

It is most important and in fact, only important and relevant attainment is to experience God hood, by existence as God.

Go back to Surrender post where hanuman explains the 3 levels of his relationship with Sri Rama thus:-

• In physical form, I am Your dasa, O Rama (Dvaita)

• At intellectual level, I know that I am a part of the ocean that You are, O Rama (visishta advaita)

• As atman, TVAMEVA AHAM - I am You and You are me - (Advaita - where, as Mahavir pours in today's quote, our existence is not different from that of God)

Love.
