A seed germinates and grows into a plant and then into a tree with branches, leaves, flowers, etc. The seed of the entire Universe is Chaitanya (Pure Consciousness). It is Sat-chit-ananda. It grows in full bloom in the human being and blossoms into the flower of Awareness. Thus God incarnates in man. To understand this truth is the goal of human life. It is the mind that stands in the way of this realisation. The mind is perverted when it is centred on the ego (body consciousness) of a person but when it is directed towards the Atma, it becomes sublime. One puffed up with ego forgets Divinity. Thinking on the physical plane and looking at the external world, man is not able to understand the Divinity within him. It is wrong to think that spirituality has nothing to do with worldly matters. The physical world also reflects Divinity. Because man forgets his true Divine nature he is wallowing in troubles and tribulations. He is reflecting only animal qualities in his actions. Only when one enquires within, one has the chance of realising Divinity. – Divine Discourse, Sep 19, 1993.
