ONE AND ONENESS BY DIAMOND PICKED UP IN THE STREET

The Vedic Truth and Sri Ramkrishna Deva as a Hindu

20. Sri Ramkrishna often used to quote this slogan of the ‘Baul’ – a sect of religious mendicants: “When shall I come to know that I am a liberated one? – Yes, when my egoism or ‘I’-ness shall bid adieu to me”.

                

Sri Ramkrishna did not explain the thing or give any symbolic picture of the death of ‘I’-ness.

Really speaking in individual experiences even after seeing Atma, a man becomes Atma but the thing remains confined in him – rather it may be looked upon as a mental phenomenon or a psychological effect.

It is Universalism and Universalism alone wherein ‘I’-ness or egoism leaves the man and leaves him for good.

21. Sri Ramkrishna used to say: – “God is all and everything”.

Nowhere any explanation or an account of his own personal experience, or any definite proof of the thing has been given by him.

As a matter of fact it is a dogma. All trough the religious annals of the world this dogmatic assertion runs. It did never strike the teachers to make the humanity understand, or clarify it through the experience from which they have made their calculation and as for proof or pragmatic aspect based on common data of the mankind this has never been given. They simply say that I make this conclusion; and you only have to believe it and follow it.

Yes, everything is God when this Universe is seen within this Atma. Atma as shown by the human form made of God’s light come down from Brahmapura or the cerebrum or the brain and then in course of time the Universe within this Atma is seen. I am very glad to point out here that in an English (Collins) Pocket Dictionary the definition of pantheism is written as ‘God is the universe’. But actually it is so seen and experienced, yet it is an individual experience and no proof can be set out for it. Even so far, Sri Ramkrishna did never speak. He simply asserted and left it at that. It is spoken here from the writer’s own personal experience.

Now to the Universalism or in the Vedic principle, its declaration is that each and every member of the mankind is Brahma or One, as Brahma is but one.

Spontaneously or by nature a living man becomes Brahma or the Perfect One and he unknowingly through the agencies of these five elements will place the replica of his form in the hearts of millions and they shall announce that they are one with him in the Atmic sphere that is Brahma or God.

I do not advocate this individual experience but it happens in an individual man and also in an esoteric condition so it is better to live it aside and to live the life with the rationalistic and pragmatic Vedic principle of Oneness. Furthermore, it is also made of five elements, that is Nature or the Universe or the man – they are but One. In every respect, in every aspect and in every way and every form there is but One, and again, this “One becomes All and All becomes One”.
