We are not separate from God

Sri Siddharameshwar Maharaj

The speaker and the thing about which he speaks, is only Myself. Who is there separate from Me who speaks? God has created the Vedas. The Veda means "to speak". The speaker of the Vedas is Me. Vedanta means, "the end of knowing". Veda means to know. The Pranava, or Omkar, which knows the Vedas, is only Me, myself. The reply and the response, as well as the "O" (origin of Om) is given by Me alone. I am the speech of the primordial speech. When Paigamber was asked, "Where is Allah?" He said, "He is". This means that he is Om. The entity that gives response is Allah alone. We are not somebody separate from God (Hari). God is One. There are no two things. By His speech, the word, the universe functions. It is His word, which is obeyed. Om is permeating in the whole world. The first syllable of Om is A. Without first uttering A no speech is possible. A + U +M together, are called the three syllables. Om is three syllable with a half syllable which is God. These three syllables together with God are the base of the world. The three worlds are created from this. From the three worlds, innumerable universes came into existence. Therefore, the primordial Om is Myself. I am the subject of all speech. To see with the eyes is myself and at the same time, what is recognized is Knowledge. Without Me, the eyes are but a lump of flesh. Vision means Consciousness, which is the moving Life-Energy, which is Me. There is no other seer than Me in the three worlds.
