Screwball Comedy - Part 2

'Just as the same sky appears as white, blue etc. so, the same Atman is seen as many by the deluded'

'Everything that we see is Acyuta, there is nothing besides Him. He is I, He is you. He, the Atman, is all this; so, free yourself from the delusion of differences. The king, being thus instructed, opened his eyes to truth and abandoned the notion of distinct existence.'

[Yama says to his servants]: All this and myself are Vasudeva. He is the only One, the supreme Purusa and the supreme Ruler. Leave those whose minds are firm in the Infinite enshrined in their hearts, and keep at a distance from them.

'O gods! all that the goddess Earth has been saying is true; I, Siva, you and all this are Narayana; but the impersonations of His power are for ever; and excess or diminuation is indicated by the dominance of the strong and the depression of the weak.'

(Brahma says to Siva): 'O Soul of the universe, you and I are, as the cause of this world, one and the same; for the welfare of the world, we are separate in respect of our functions.'

'He, who has obtained your protection, has also obtained mine; you will, O Samkara! see yourself in no way different from me. Men whose minds are deluded by nescience (avidya) see distinctinctions such as 'I, he, thou, and this world with gods, titans and men.'

Mahesvara says in the Bhavisyottara-purana: 'Those who regard me or Brahma as different from Visnu are of crooked minds, fools, and are tortured in the hells below. Those foolish and wicked men that regard me, Hari, and Brahma as different, are guilty of a sin equal to Brahman murder.'

Again on the kailasa yatra of the Harivamsa, Mahesvara says: 'You are the beginning, the middle and the end of all beings; the universe sprang from you and is absorbed in you; I am you, the all-pervading. You are myself, O Janaradana! O Lord of the world! there is no difference between us, either in words denoting us or in their imports. Those glorious names of Govinda that are popular in the world are my names, too; he who hates you hates me; there is not a shadow of doubt (about this). I am the Lord of beings only as an emanation of you; there is nothing devoid of you, O Lord! Whatever is, was, or will be, is yourself, O Lord of the universe! There is nothing without you, O Lord of the lords!'

'The firmament with the sun, moon, and stars, the welkin, the points of the compass, the earth and the ocean are all held and supported by the prowess of the high-souled Vasudeva.'

''Visnu, the one great Being, pervades innumerable individual beings and the three worlds; and being the Self and enjoyer of all, and undecaying, He experiences [everything].'
