FORM AND PRINCIPLE
In the 13th chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, Sri Krishna tells,
‘Sarvatah Paani Paadam Tat Sarvatokshi Siro Mukham
Sarvatah Srutimal Loke, Sarvahmavritya Tishtati’
With hands, feet, face and head everywhere,
Pervading all the worlds, God envelops everything’
The nameless, formless One pervades all as Truth. It is omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent. This is the ‘principle. I wanted to realize this principle.
Everyone has their own image of God. This is ‘form’. Ultimate Truth can be attained by worshipping that form. Those, who are absorbed in a single form, perform sadhana and attain the Jeevan Muktha state. My life is different from them. I wanted to attain both form and principle! The chart below sheds more light on this.
I wanted to attain the all-pervasive form. This effort shows that I am Prakrithi. Why is my goal different from others? When I have attained the Jeevan Muktha state being absorbed in the form of Sai, why do I want the all pervasive Sai Principle? Why do I want to merge with Swami seeing Him in every atom of creation? It is because I am Prakrithi and He is Purusha.
