SOME SAY THAT THE SUPREME IS DIVINE LIGHT. SOME
ALSO SAY THAT THE SUPREME IS IN EVERYONE’S
HEART. SOME SAY THAT THE SUPREME IS A PERSON
WHO STAYS FAR AWAY FROM US IN HIS SPIRITUAL
WORLD. WHICH ONE IS TRUE?
All are true. There is one Supreme Truth that is
manifested in three forms Brahman, Paramatma and
Bhagavan. Consider an analogy of the sun. There is sun-
light. There is a sun-globe and there is a sun-god
operatingthe sun-globe. The sun-rays are like the
Brahman (or the divine light). The sun-globe is like the
Paramatma (or the Supersoulresiding in everyone’s
heart). And the sun-god is like Bhagavan (Lord Krishna

The trainstory
in one village, the villagers gathered well in advance to
see the train coming. It was coming at night, so some
villagers saw that there was a big light on the front of the
train, and it was coming towards them. So they ran home,
they were perhaps a little frightened or something. They
ran home, and their relatives asked them, "What is the
train like?" And they said, "It's a big light." Some other
villagers stayed longer, and they saw not only a light, but
also that it was moving very fast, and they could perceive
a long form behind the light also moving very fast. So
then they also became frightened, and they ran home and
they told their relatives, "The train has got a light on the
front,it's long and it's moving fast." So they had more
information. But then some villagers stayed until the train
pulled right into the station, it stopped and they were able
to get inside. They saw so many seats, so many people.
So then they went home. They had full information.
They told their relatives, "The train has got a light on the
front, it's long and it moves fast, but inside there are many
many seats, there are peoplesitting, and you can get in
and out."
