Note – this is how Man becomes God through devotion. Our Masters do not preach us to believe in a God sitting somewhere in heaven and watching over us, granting wishes and punishing us according to our actions. This is a scientific religion that makes God out of you and me. As a salt doll dissolves in the ocean and becomes ONE with the ocean, a devoted mind merges with the Lord, and what remains thereafter, other than DIVINITY?

Maithreya continued the story with Devahoothi’s life with her son Lord Kapila after Karddama’s departure. One day Devahoothi approached Kapila and said, ”Oh Bhagavan, You know every thing. Yet, let me tell You about my mental agony. My mind is miserable as it is trapped in desires to enjoy sensual pleasures.  You are the guiding torch of light in this endless darkness. You are the Sun, the embodiment of Jnana that shows light to seekers of Truth. The illusion of “I”ness and “My”ness is binding me. Please remove this ego and liberate me. I prostrate before You”.

The Lord was pleased by His mother’s noble desire. HE replied, “The “I”ness in the body, senses and mind can be removed by realizing the Self.
