Thought for the day as written at Prasanthi Nilayam - Feb 13th, 2006

What we must seek to experience today is Ekatwam (unity in diversity).

All beings are manifestations of the Divine. Only when oneness is

experienced in all the forms can Divinity be understood. Adwaita

(Oneness) is expressed in three forms: Bhaava-Adwaita (oneness in

mental attitude), Kriya-Adwaita (oneness expressed in action) and

Padaartha-Adwaita (oneness as seen in all objects). In Bhaava-Adwaita,

one perceives that Divinity is the underlying reality of the entire

cosmos. In Kriya-Adwaita, every action is regarded as an offering to

the Divine and is thereby divinized. Padaartha-Adwaita implies

recognizing that every being or every object in the universe is

composed of the same five elements (ether, air, fire, water and earth)

which are divine in their origin.
