“TATVAMASI” – This is the termed as the Mahavakya in sama veda (Chandogya

Upanishad 6.8.7). “Thou art That” is the meaning of this vakya. What dose that means
is “I am same as that”. Here “that” refers to the Supreme Being, so “I am same as the
supreme being”.

Probably one would be more confused with the lot of terminologies that define things in
spirituality. GOD, ATMAN, SUPREME BEING, SOUL, BRAHMA, MOKSHA and so
on… all these finally end up in the same quantity. The existence of GOD was questioned
to Buddha by one of his disciples and the conversation went something like as follows

Disciple: Do GOD exist?

Buddha: When did I preach that?
Disciple: So, do you mean that GOD does not exist?
Buddha: When did I preach that?
What did Buddha mean when he gave same answers for two opposite questions? GOD
do exist and GOD dose not exist.

The term GOD was derived by our people for the sake of having a factor called fear. “If
you hurt a being, you will be punished by GOD”. GOD was a restriction to the set of ill
deeds that a man can perform. With out the fear of GOD, probably man would have acted
very wild against nature. Today we see the effect of human dominance on nature due to
his depleting belief on GOD. But, even in those days we could find cruel people going
against nature and causing damages. So, it’s purely the individuals thinking and wish and
will to decide the act that he performs. GOD would only cause a physiological effect on
his thinking before any act. If he feel that the act is a evil and GOD would punish me on
executing this act, he will always will have a second thought of the act, else if he feels
that the act is not evil and GOD would not punish him for the execution of the act, he will
go ahead to execute it. So, everything is in the thoughts of the human being and term
called GOD is acting as a virtual brain to have control on those thoughts. A person who
know this truth of GOD will always try to gain mastery on his brain and will try to
control the thought of his own, when he succeeds in doing so, he calls him self as GOD.

A person who has total control on his brain, thoughts can be called a perfect man. He is
perfect because, he is capable of doing all those tasks that he thinks he can do. He is
perfect because he can guide his mind. He is perfect because, he does not need a virtual
brain to control him. Thus he is supreme. Thus he is GOD.
