Take for example that the sun is God. The sun is not God, it is gas. But let us say it is God ā infinite power, infinite bliss, infinite knowledge.
It is all there in the sun. Those in the mental sphere are near the sun, and they directly receive the rays of the sun. Those in the subtle world are a bit further off. The rays of knowledge and bliss are filtered through the mental sphere, and only the residue is received by those in the subtle sphere. The gross world is very far off. It is so thick, so crude. Only the last traces of infinite bliss and knowledge come through into the gross world. The yogis in the subtle plane receive less of my rays. Those on the gross plane receive just a trace of my infinite power, bliss and knowledge. In the mental plane rays of infinite knowledge are received directly, and those saints on this plane know the minds and thoughts of everyone. The rays of infinite knowledge when they strike on the mental plane are received directly by the saints and walis. The knowledge is now converted into knowing the thoughts of gross and subtle minds.
In the sun, infinite knowledge knows everything as God. In the mental plane, rays of that infinite knowledge make known the minds of all. When they percolate to the subtle, those on the subtle plane know the minds of those who are associated with them. The same infinite knowledge from the sun, coming through the mental and subtle and striking the gross, gives the human mind intelligence, the power of reasoning, logic and all that is associated with the mind. So this gross human mind, which is so powerful and able to think and invent so many things, and that is able to imagine anything, is really nothing but that trickle of that infinite knowledge of the sun.
… This gross human mind which can invent, imagine, think anything, it cannot however know the minds of others. But the mentally conscious human mind can know the minds of all. Mental consciousness is so powerful that it can even raise a human corpse from the dead that has been dust for 100 years! It has happened before. This power that is received is the rays of the Supreme All-power that is the sun, God. Here, rays from the sun can raise the dead. And I repeat, the mental, subtle and gross worlds are all phenomena ā illusion. There is no reality but God. All else is illusion. So raising the dead, giving sight to the blind is but tamasha ā farce!
