The Vedas have given us four Mahavakyas: (1) That thou art (Tat Twam Asi), (2) Constant integrated awareness is Divinity (Prajnanam Brahma), (3) I am Divine (Aham Brahmasmi) and (4) The soul is Divine (Ayam Atma Brahma). All of you know these statements and are constantly chanting these words but are not putting them into practice. Mere chanting without action is pure exhibitionism. You say, all are divine (Brahman), but hate others. This is sheer hypocrisy. If you have aversion to any individual, quietly keep away from them. Do not hate them; try to develop love for them. Do not criticize or hate anybody. This is My message for you today. This is the course to be adopted by you. I love everyone. I have no dislike for anyone. All are My devotees, friends and children. To Me, all are one. This universe is a big book. Your inner conscience (Antaratma) is your Guru. God is your best friend.
