Message taken from Divine Discourse delivered by Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba on 29th April 2009 in Kodaikanal

Wherever you see, there is God and God is one. People say, "He is Rama, He is Krishna, He is Shiva, He is Vishnu." What does it mean? Does it mean that Vishnu, Shiva, Rama, and Krishna are separate entities? These are different names of the same God. God appears before you in a particular form based on your own imagination. When you contemplate on the form of Krishna as portrayed by artists like Ravi Varma, God will manifest before you in the form of Krishna. In the same way, God will appear before you in the form of Rama. But God is neither Rama nor Krishna. Both Rama and Krishna are you only. The forms of Rama and Krishna are nothing but your own reflections. When you say, "I want Rama," God manifests before you in the form of Rama. Similarly, when you say, "I want Krishna," He appears before you in the form of Krishna. All these forms are nothing but your own reflections. Everything is God.

Love,

Kohila
