show our own creation. It is only for the Divine creation there is a place for expression. One may be the greatest of the Viswamithras. We may say we have landed on moon or Mars or we are going to run around the universe and come back. We can do anything we like. No one is bothered about it. But when we express through our existence that Divinity, which is nothing but love, then I think others recognize us as somebody who represents God.
As Master puts it "Now imagine what he (man) originally was, and what he has finally been led to, by the effect of his thoughts which had entrapped him so tightly. Similar incidents added further to the intricacies of the net giving greater strength to it by the effect of his thought, which fomented them all the more. The grossness went on increasing. Its resultant effect led to the development of further evils like passion, anger, lust etc. In short a complete conglomerate was formed." Further he added "One must go on reducing the activities, shaking off all superfluities that have entered into his being, for the purpose of shattering his individual net-work and assuming the purest state one has finally to acquire."
The diversion of thought to the source from the mess we have created for ourselves is no simple task. He advises us to attach ourselves with one of our fellow beings who has controlled his downward tendency of thoughts and is willing to assist us in become plain and simple in tune with Nature. Once we attain our original state of purity and express the sole values of Nature of sincerity and service we tend to be considered as divine by others. Sun is a Divine entity because it gives (sacrifices) heat to us and through that sacrifice serves us. So do the rivers, mountains and trees. How much we appreciate the values of these natural forces we now know, having ruined the atmosphere so thoroughly as only the greedy human can.
In order that others see Divinity in a person, there is no point in saying that he is a great man or is capable of performing miracles, transforming monkey into man or man into a monkey or trying to materialize things which do not exist here. This is not the way by which we are going to become one with God. People will not see in such a person God, they may see him as a great man, perhaps a great saint. They won't say he is God. Even if one were to create another universe as "Trishanku Swarga", has been created by the great teacher of Lord Rama, Viswamitra, he was not called God nor will any other be called so for performing miracles. He was a saint of a very great order who was capable of creating another world. We did not recognize him as God. Surely not, nor any Hindu accepts him as a God, he is a great Guru. But when we want the Divinity
