Reflections from the Mirrors: East and West

"Everything is a manifestation of God. When you know that the power that is Life is inside you, you accept your own divinity, and yet you are humble because you see the same divinity in everyone else." Don Miguel Ruiz

Please note, this is not the divinity of those you like or approve of, but the divinity of all.

"There is only the Ishta Devata everywhere, and there is nothing else: jidhar dekhta hun, udhar tu hi tu: "Wherever I look, I see you, God." It is not many Krishnas or many Devis or many Narayanas that we are seeing. It is only one Narayana. As we do not see many waves but see only one ocean. This Atman should be known not as any kind of object of knowledge, but as the substance of one’s own Self as well as the Self of everybody else. " Swami Krishnananda
