GOD IS PRESENT IN EVERYONE

Swami Vivekananda – the greatest and the most illumined of all the Hindu savants and philosophers, had one core idea in all his teachings and preaching.The idea for whose manifestation, the great soul sacrificed and renounced his social life to the austerities of monastic way. The idea that stands eternally above every gospel and religion-“God is present in every human being.”

The idea is so limpid and simple that easily sinks in every human brain to its very depths, but the profundity of its abstractness makes it adamant for absorption by material mind. How could the mundanely prejudiced mind conceive the idea of a single universal soul –“The God” existing intact in billions of individual entities. For the manifestation of such abstract philosophies by the “Grey Matter” (Mind)one should always look for the peering examples in the materialistic world itself.For realization of this divine gospel on can examine the minutest form of life- a microbe.Consider a microbe to epitomize the “universal soul”. Under mitotic division the microbe Divides and forms two identical offspring, which on a little development become exactly akin to their parent microbe in all their attributes and qualities. These two microbes divide further and the process perpetuates to form new individual microbes, all similar to each other and to their initial parent.

This example simplifies the intricacy of Swami’s great idea to a nicety and leaves it modest to be engrossed by human mind. Just like every offspring microbe represents an exact replica of its initial parent, every human soul is in itself a complete God-descendent of the “universal soul”, irrespective of the physical body it is incarnated into.

But here is a slight difference in the two situations, whereas the development of offspring microbe to peer its parent is spontaneous and natural, its not the case with the spiritual development of soul. To realize and inherit the divine attributes in one’s soul one has to put in excruciating efforts and learn to meditate. But once your soul reaches that divine eminence where you hear its inner voice saying “the gospelous idea”, all your pain transforms into bliss and this mortal body becomes an abode of divine, whom earlier you were seeking in idols.

A TRIBUTE:

Thou were the man, who knew thy being,

Dynasty divine, no worldly breed.

Thine was the light, that shattered all dark,

Of dreams, desires and venereal power.

In the mire of maya swathed holy seed,

Nourished by delusion, for truth it heaved.

Shackled from senses, it sprouted feeble vine,

Smeared by mist, it kneaded puny clime.

Stranded human vine, evoked holy ruth,

Deigning to matter, thine soul took birth.

To stolid, slumber souls, Vedic lore thou preached,

“Arise awake and stop not, till the goal is reached.”

From the fathom of matter, pristine thou exhumed,

Above the starry heaven, it’ll shine beyond the Doom.
