All Trying to Manifest the One

One principle … the Vedanta claims, is to be found in every religion in the world -- that man is divine, that all this which we see around us is the outcome of that consciousness of the divine. 

Everything that is strong, and good, and powerful in human nature is the outcome of that divinity, and though potential in many, there is no difference between man and man essentially, all being alike divine. 

There is, as it were, an infinite ocean behind, and you and I are so many waves, coming out of that infinite ocean; and each one of us is trying his best to manifest that infinite outside.
