In creation, there appear to be two entities, you and I. But they are in reality one. Vyashti (individual) is a part of samashti (society), and samashti is a part of srishti (creation) which emerges from Parameshti (God). This Parameshti is Parabrahma tathwa (principle of Brahman). That is the fundamental basis of the entire creation. In this way, you have to recognise the unity of all creation. Only then can you attain Parameshti. Buddha experienced the unity of all creation. There was a total transformation in him once he attained the vision of the oneness of the atma. He realised that all worldly relations like mother, father, wife, and children were false. He transcended body consciousness. That is why he earned the appellation Buddha (the enlightened one). Buddha attained the vision of the atma. After this experience, he went on teaching that there existed only one divine principle in the world. (Divine Discourse, May 13, 2006)
