The feeling that you are Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Brahma samajis etc., has no base. You are nothing but a human being; you are born a human. You have branded yourself that you are something…. You are just a human being. By branding yourself you create more problems. This brand becomes so important that you cannot see anything beyond it. Till this catch does not release, this blindness will not go because you see everything in such a way that only your way is right.

In the west it is even more so. If you put anything into their brains and tell them that it is good, then they will follow it blindly. The critics there also criticise every art form so much. Another critic will refute what the first critic has refuted.  Nothing comes to you from within yourself and your brain. Whatever others have filled in is accepted. Each is branded. By this the ego rises and the person thinks that he is very great personality and very unique from others. He becomes an individual.

The essence of truth is that we are all one, are Whole, are a totality. When we go in the opposite to it then you become individualistic and go on becoming more and more separate. This is true that one leaf does not resemble another but all of them are on the same tree….

So when an artist creates he makes some such things that one accepts from the heart. All the works that we do of Saraswati [the Goddess of creativity] should be dedicated and surrendered to the Divine. If this happens then all such works will be immortal. All poems, music, songs, art forms which were offered in the name of God are still living today. Like today’s film music comes and dies down. But the songs of Kabir, Gyaneshwara are still remembered. Through their self-realisation they obtained the Maha Saraswati Shakti power [great power of creativity], and whatever they wrote or created, that light was of a unique kind. These were creations that united the world into one.
