Golden words of Baghavan Sathya Sai Baba - 21.

21. Divinity

As we go on talking for hours together, we tend to forget what we really intend to communicate. So, many deviations and distortions creep into our speech. Today, the entire world is filled with negative feelings. Whoever you come across, whatever you see, negativity is widespread. All are reflections of your inner thoughts and feelings. But beyond all these, there is one entity, called Atma, which is the Embodiment of the divine Self. There is only one Atma, which dwells in every individual, nay, every living being... There is one Divinity which expresses itself through millions of individuals. We tend to forget this great truth and consider each individual as separate from the other. Along with unity, there should be purity. Where unity and purity go together, there Divinity is.

When you see a mountain, waterfall or forest, you feel happy. All these proclaim the presence of the Divine. Light shines, the stars twinkle, the sun blazes, the planets revolve in their orbits. All these phenomena are manifestations of the Divine. By understanding the nature of flame, you can understand the nature of fire. By examining a drop of water, you come to know the nature of the Ganges. Likewise by understanding Maanavathvam (the true nature of humanness), you can understand Daivathvam (Divinity).
