Is it true that there exists one world and multiple forms of God?

[Ms. Thrylokya asked: Swāmi, You said that the mind could be attached to one God or multiple world. But it appears as if there is one world and multiple Gods (multiple forms of God). Kindly enlighten us.]

Swāmi replied:- The same God exists in different media and this can’t be told as multiple Gods since there is only one God in all the external media. The world is nothing but all these different media without God in them. These media have no unity especially in the internal modes of awareness (qualities). You may get the unity in their external physical substance by saying that the same five elements exist, but, all those five elements are inert only. Even these inert five elements are five and not one. The awareness and its qualities are important than the physical unity or diversity. The qualities of God are one and the same in any incarnation. Of course, in the view of suitability of the receivers, these qualities may vary externally, but, the internal essential divine qualities are one and the same in all the incarnations. In the case of human beings, such internal unity of qualities is not found. The qualities differ from one human being to another internally as well as externally. Hence, unity stands for God and multiplicity stands for the world.
