Satsang SHREE SANT KATHAMRUT by Das Ganu Maharaj

You see an emperor, his officers and his messengers.
All of them are due to the existence of the empire. They
are all different. The emperor enjoys elephants, palanqines,
different vehicles etc. He controls others at his will. His
officers have to act according to his orders. Their wishes
are dependent on those of the emperor's. The messengers
have to execute his orders. Their own will is limited here.
The subjects are under the envelope of the power of the
emperor.
Everything, the emperorship, messengership and also the
subjecthood, are all dependent on this power. This power,
however, is different from all of them. When the emperor
dies, the power of the empire does not cease to be.
We can easily understand the different aspects of this
power. He who becomes one with the power becomes
the emperor, though the power is independent, everything
happens when one is supported by it. Nana, you sit in the
chair (of the Secretary) due to the power of the empire.
Your peon who swings the fan over your head does so
due to the same power. Both of you are there (in the
office) due to the same power but you perform different
duties. The emperor fully enjoys this power. A part of it
is enjoyed by the officers. The peon enjoys even a smaller
part of it. The subjects, too, enjoy under its aegis. Thus,
the spiritual souls become one with the Bramhan and enjoy
complete bliss.

Upon this Nana asked very politely, How can one divide
the formless power of the empire into different parts? Once
we name the different parts, its nature of being formless
vanishes (Hence it contradicts the assumption).

Baba said. "A very good question, Nana! I am very glad
you asked it. The power of the empire, certainly, cannot
be divided. We, however perceive its divisions (parts).
Same is the case with the Chaitanya which appears to be
infinite but one perceives its parts. Though one cannot
divide it into parts the recipients enjoy it partially according
to their abilities. The space occupies small and big pots,
utensils and the sky. The containers may have different
capacities to fill the space. Does it, then, mean that the
space is divided? Nana, understand this. This is the case
here too. This is how the soul is. I have explained to you
the nature of the Soul.
