Miraculous Creation
Creation arises from divine persistence in sadhana, service, and surrender. All manifested beauty is transient, leading to the fundamental question of identity. Our true nature is the endless space of Ananda, which is indivisible from the pure consciousness within it. This consciousness is the harmonizing, unifying energy; the multiplicity of creation, like cherries from a single tree, springs from this oneness. Experiencing this joy in creation fosters a healthy, happy life. Human intellect struggles to understand this, often clouded by greed which disrupts peace. Our individual soul travels through existence, and while the body is temporary, the inner self is not disabled by physical conditions. Practice, such as yoga, clarifies the intellect and brings peace, enabling us to help others. True help requires first establishing peace within oneself by overcoming anger and selfishness. The essence of this understanding is love, exemplified by a mother's protective love, which is the very nature of the divine.
"Ekoham—I am one. One cherry tree, beautiful cherries, and all these seeds are the multiplying of one."
"Love is God and God is love. That between mother and child and the development, if we can understand that, we will understand."
