God is the Father and Mother of All.

[Guest guest]

We are all born in a family in a particular nation. We are given a name(label) subsequently. The baby do not come with a name on its lips. It is we who give it a name for identification. We assume since we follow certain traditions etc. we label the baby as a hindu or christian or muslim. A baby is a baby. It is god's gift to the family. It is we, who ascribe so many attributes like religion etc. Swami considers all as human beings only. He never differentiates one from the other depending upon their Nationality, Religion or educational or financial status. For him, an illeterate villager(we take them to be uncivilised since we feel that we are educated and highly sophisticated as we follow the customs of "English speaking people") and a high dignitary are one and the same for Swami sees the Atma enshrined in this ephemeral body. It is really a very sad judgement we make while we come across co-pilgrims. In fact all are our own brothers and sisters. The glass we wear, distorts our vision. Some may say Swami treats dignitaries with special attention. Outwardly it may look so. Through those dignitaries, He enables them to utilise their status in undertaking some welfare activities for the poor and downtrodden. Individually, we may at best join a service activity through a Samithi. But a dignitary can influence the government to certain extent in extending welfare activities to the poor from the political side. Otherwise for Swami, all are one. He is never bothered about the externals. He sees the Atma inside. Whatever Swami does, is only for the welfare of the humanity around the world. Though He has incarnated in India, Swami belongs to entire humanity. Hence we find people of all religions from all parts of the world(even from the so called communist countries throng to Him very often).He is truely "Jagataha Pitarau Vande Parvati Parameswara"(He is the Universal parent for all) Hence we should base all our actions with the sole truth in mind that all are brothers and sisters only. Sairam.
