God is extolled as Sabda Brahmamayi, Characharamayi,
Jyotirmayi, Vangmayi, Nityanandamayi,
Paratparamayi, Mayamayi and Sreemayi (embodiment
of sound, mobility and immobility, light, speech, eternal
bliss, perfection, delusion and wealth). Hence, even the
words that we utter manifest our innate divinity. It is God
who speaks through each one of you. You should have
this firm conviction. If someone accuses you, think that
God in that form is accusing you. When you develop
such spirit of oneness and tolerance, you will never be
perturbed by censure and blame. Your mind will always
remain in peace. Whatever may happen, accept it wholeheartedly
as the Will of God. Have firm faith that it is
God and God alone who is the doer. Do not consider
your fellow human beings as mere individuals. When
you talk to someone, think that you are talking to God.
When you do not see God in others and treat them as
your own, you will be giving room to evil qualities like
anger, jealousy, hatred, etc. Develop the spirit of oneness.
Only then will your life be redeemed.
