GREAT HYMN OF OBEISANCE: A CONTEMPLATION
CLOSENESS WITH SELF
75 thing is available to him for asking. The only reason behind this change in the behaviour is the awareness of closeness and feeling of oneness (relationship).
Similarly, till such time as oneness with soul Bhagwan is not established, the behaviour of close relationship with the soul is not possible.
Establishment of oneness with one's own soul Bhagwan, which is different from external objects such as body, is an outstanding and wonderful revolution. This is the beginning of dharma, is right faith, is right knowledge and is right conduct and is direct path to liberation. This is the only way to become Bhagwan, to remove all miseries and to attain infinite bliss, beyond the reach of senses.
What is there to be one's own? Till such time as there is no awareness of oneness (relationship), there is no advantage of being one's own. Here, oneness (relationship) is more important than being one's own.
Brother! Similar is the condition of our soul Bhagwan. Although it is our own, what of being one's own, we are ourselves soul Bhagwan, but because of the lack of awareness of oneness, soul Bhagwan has been neglected forever. It is being treated as stepson. It has become a servant in its own house.

Sethani said, while crying, "My son's childhood has been spent miserably cleaning utensils. He could neither study nor play and eat.
Oh God! How much he has suffered right before my eyes. I did not give him proper food, nor allowed him to have even a moment's rest. All the time I kept him busy in work."
The very Sethani who was not prepared to concede that she was overloading the child with work and not giving him proper food, is now confessing that she was taking too much work out of the child and was not giving him proper and adequate food.
This is all the glory of oneness (relationship). Is it now necessary to explain to her to give lighter work and better food to the child? Now there was no question of giving him work and what of food, now every
The saint embraces nakedness like that of the child, which is free from stigma and which is difficult to attainment. This frees him from the evils of begging, safeguarding, injury, etc., and it is the sole cause of attaining emancipation, as it is free from attachment. The mind of the saint embracing nakedness is free from the excitement of passion and agitation, as he considers the female body impure and stinking. Hence he always safeguards the celibacy perfectly. His nakedness must, therefore, be considered blameless.

The body is the repository of all impurities, transient and defenceless. The saint does not, therefore, have thought or desire for the body, and does not adorn the body.
