Words express our devotion
Today is the holy day of divine incarnation.
We show respect by marking the divine coming to earth. Divine names like Śiva, Braṣmā, Viṣṇu, Rāma, Kṛṣṇa, and Jesus are short and sweet. These are glories given to the one reality. Titles like doctor or professor are just designations; the reality is one soul. In this age, a disciple gave the name "Holy Gurujī," which signifies high respect. We are human, using names to show respect, similar to calling anyone "sir." Our Guru received the title Hindu Dharm Samrāṭ, like an emperor of eternal duty, and also Vishwaguru. These titles are subtitles; we remain the same essence. Worldly titles, like President or First Lady, are transient. The true power is in the name and the quality it represents. Today, under a good constellation, our Satguru was born.
"It is a birth, an incarnation—a holy incarnation—and this is our respect."
"These are just titles... So what we call ourselves is just like air inside. But the name—that is the first one."
