When you enter a cinema theatre, you find a white screen. Merely watching the screen does not satisfy you. Once the show commences, you find different scenes projected on the screen. Without the screen, can you see the picture? No. But, when the picture is projected, though the screen exists, it is not seen; it merges itself with the picture. The screen exists all the time – before, during, and after the show. The Vedas declare: “Antar bahischa tat sarva vyapya Narayana stitaha (That all-pervasive God is present within and without).” As the screen is to the picture, so is the Atma to the creation. The screen of Atma is present within and around all beings and is the primordial basis for the entire creation. Therefore, it is said, Sarvam Vishnumayam Jagat (Divinity pervades everywhere). Divinity is present in the “picture”, around the “picture”. So, who can know the form of such a Divinity? On the screen of Love, you find the picture of the universe. This Love is present in the name of Atma in all beings. – Divine Discourse, Sep 30, 1998.
