The consequence of avoiding the knowledge and practice of Vedanta is the increase of three tragedies: Papam, Tapam, Ajnanam (Sin, Suffering and Ignorance). The Name usually given to the Reality that you are, namely, Rama, is the cure for all three. Atma is known as Atmarama because Rama means that which pleases and nothing confers such vast inexhaustible joy as the Atma. So, the word Rama means the Atma. That word consists of three components: ‘R’, and ma. Ra is the mystic representative of Agni (Fire) principle; it burns sin into ash, ‘a’ is the symbol of Suya (Sun) principle; it destroys the darkness of ignorance. ‘Ma’ is the symbol of Chandra (Moon) principle; it cools the Tapam or heat of suffering. So, Rama overcomes all the three tragedies and reveals the Truth, the Beauty and Goodness. Repeat the Name, Rama with this significance in mind and you can feel its effect very soon. (SSS Vol.7)
You are all embodiments of God. God is all-pervasive. You cannot classify some as divine and some others not divine. All are reflections of the same Atma, which is common to all. This Atmic Principle is also Sun principle and Truth Principle (Surya tattva and Satya tattva). When one follows Satya, Prema will be the reflection. When you walk on the road, your shadow may fall on bad patches like drains, garbage, etc., but you are not affected by it. You should proceed unmindful of the path of the shadow. So also you must follow your heart with good feelings unmindful of obstacles that may appear to come in the way. You should practise truth. (SSS Vol.31, p.88)
