A day at Dakshineswar
(Henceforth Shri Ramkrishna will be spoken of as Thakur” when required as it is so done in the Gospel )
Friday, April 24, 1885
630.
“The creation is God’s illusion (maya) and the destruction is also so”.
It
is but the opinion of one class of the Vedantists. It is sophistry and high
imagination. The creation is real, the destruction is real, Brahma is real and
everything is real. To ignore this life as illusion is worse than committing
suicide. A man is born to become God or Brahma and there is positive proof of
it.
This
human being is Brahma. It is so announced by the sages of the past – ‘Aham
Brahmasmi – I am Brahma’! It is again so announced in the 12th
century A.D. by Mansur of Baghdad – ‘An ul Haq’ – ‘I am the Truth’, and some
600 years ago, it is so announced by Chandidas, the post-aspirant of Bengal,
that “Man is the Eternal Truth and there is none above or beyond him”.
Our
Universalism bears positive proof that a man becomes Brahma and it is so
eternally.
The
proof of the Universalism runs thus:
“One
is All and All is One” – Pantheism.
It
bears a living picture – Let any Man attain this Brahmahood in the seventh
plane in His own body and He will be seen by myriads of human beings – women,
men, young men, young women and the old alike irrespective of caste and creed.
In short, it evinces that He becomes – Universalle-La’-Homme.
Peace! Peace!
Eternal Peace
