Deepradrushti: Despite differences in names and other attributes, all are ultimately non-dual in essence.
(363) Even though there may be differences in names and other attributes, in essence, there is no difference whatsoever. Thus, it is appropriate for the great souls to contemplate with wisdom, understanding, and unwavering faith, considering the essence as the primary focus.
Because, when contemplating from the perspective of ultimate reality, it is clear to the wise that there is no possibility of any kind of difference in the true essence of all beings. The definition of "He who knows all is omniscient" proves this logically. Even though there may be differences in names, the omniscient one is given different names based on different beliefs, sects, etc., and his form is described differently, his glory is sung differently, and his character is narrated differently, but there is no difference in his all-encompassing essence. Some call him Jin, some Shiva, some Buddha, some Ahanta, some Vishnu, some Brahma, some Ishwar, some Khuda, some Ram, some Rehman, some Paramatma, some Almighty God, etc., whatever the name of their beloved deity, they all worship the same one, but there is no difference in meaning due to the difference in names. Just as the Ganga River is called Suranadhi, Bhagirathi, Vipathga, Mandakini, etc., but the Ganga River is one and the same, there is no change in it, similarly, even though different names are given to the one essence of all, there is no change in its essential unity. Omniscience is one and indivisible from the ultimate perspective, and it is appropriate for the wise to contemplate with wisdom, understanding, and unwavering faith, and to contemplate again and again.
And the various names given to this one essence of omniscience are also indicative of its various qualities, and are meaningful in describing its unparalleled and inconceivable glory from different perspectives. For example, "Ahan" means worthy of worship, worthy of worship, worthy of worship by the world. By destroying the enemy of karma, he is "Jin-Vitrag". By his divine nature, he is "Mahadeva". By his unwavering nature and his ability to bring happiness, that is, by his nature as the savior of the three worlds, he is "Shankar". By his knowledge of Brahma, by his knowledge of the self, he is "Brahma". By removing suffering, he is Hari. He is worshipped by the wise, so he is "Buddha". By establishing the rules of the path of Shiva, he is "Vidhata". Thus, he is the manifest supreme being. Even though he has many names, he is not many in his own nature, because the one essence of infinite qualities is well-known. Therefore, the various names based on different qualities are not mutually contradictory, but are indicative of the same meaning and essence, complementing and supporting each other, and confirming the one essence.
