God has many names and forms but Divinity is one. Scholars refer to the ‘One Truth’ with many names (Ekam Sath Viprah Bahudha Vadanti). Realising this truth, respect all, love all and give joy to all. Then you become God! When you recognise the fact that Divinity in all is the same, there would be no sense of duality. You may think that it is very difficult, but it is extremely simple. Your inability to recognise this truth is due to the fault of your vision and not the Creator. Correct your faulty vision and perception; see the unity in diversity. In this world, there is a constant strife between good and evil. Many people are jealous of others and subject them to slander. But do not attach any importance to such criticism. Praise and abuse are common to mankind. Several noble people faced similar difficulties and overcame these with fortitude. Live in truth and love, no harm will come to you.
