reincarnation (punarjanma). They have no use for this Knowledge (Gnan)! Those who understand reincarnation; understand the complete form of God!
Therefore, if they hear about such a science, the energies of the people in Hindustan will be awakened. Otherwise these people believe in their minds, 'What were we ever going to do? We are a fraction (ansha) of God!' This is what people have taught, to say, “We are a fraction of God!' Now, whatever knowledge that these people acquire, whatever understanding they receive, and by whatever knowledge they live by, is the very knowledge, the very dependent knowledge which relies on, 'I am a fraction of God.' So when will you ever become complete (sarvansha)? This will not get you anywhere. You are not a fraction of God. That which is a fraction, does not have the energy (shakti) to become complete. A part or fraction (ansha) will always remain in the form of a fraction. And the complete (sarvansha) will never be in the form of a fraction; the complete (sarvansha) will always remain complete! One may say, 'Why has so much ignorance spread? Why do they believe that this is God's form (swaroop)?' That is when the Gnani Purush explains, that the God within is complete (sarvansha), a fraction of his form has been unveiled, and that is as much as he benefits. But one’s Self is really complete.
Did you understand? If you say, 'I am a fraction of God', where will it get you? When I came across people who spoke about being a fraction of God, I thought to myself, 'What sort of a thing is this!' When I was little, I came across those who would say, 'We are a fraction of God (ansha swaroop)!' That is when I became annoyed and thought, ‘you might be a fraction, but why would I be a fraction?' He is the portion (ansha swaroop)! Besides, one pai (penny) can never make a rupee (dollar). If a pai hung around for thousands of years, would it ever become a rupee? Therefore, you need to understand this!
