Bodies are different and names are different, but the indweller or the Self that is present in everyone is one and the same. When you want to call someone, you call him or her by their name. Each one of you has an unique name only for identity purposes; it should not be considered more significant than that. Lord Krishna declared clearly in the Bhagavad Gita that you are the embodiment of the Lord. Do not limit yourself as a mere human being. Let anyone call you by any name. The real truth is, the Self-same Lord is present in you and in everyone. God dwells everywhere (Ishavasyam Idam Sarvam) and in everyone. Hence remember! You do not merely represent the name that you are given, but are truly Divine - “I am I” is your real name! God dwells in all of you (Ishwarah Sarva Bhoothanam). Hence practice the principle, “All are One, Be alike to everyone.”
