[Diamond used to discuss his lifelong divine realizations with innumerable listeners coming to his residence every day. The discussions were mainly based on the metaphors of Sri Ramkrishna as described in Gospel of Sri Ramkrishna and it used to continue from noon to night.
These discussions and daily experiences were recorded by some listeners in their diaries and later on has been published in a Bengali magazine since 1968. This article is mainly based on a compilation work from different diaries and magazines and after editing and translating these into English I m going to publish regularly in several chapters.]
The Truth is ‘All is All’
September 14, 1958
Vedas have mentioned that God is within this human body and to get Him within this body. It is my opinion that in the Vedic era. Rishis visualized God only and after thousands of years specific visualization of God has occurred in Sri Ramkrishna (as he said to Swami Vivekananda, ‘I swear that I have seen God’). He also said, that in the present era due to defective bodies, individualistic austerities won’t occur in anyone; in full-fledged form and not even in future. What has happened here will be the initiation of mass austerity, of course the individualistic austerity may occur in tit-bits, but not in full-fledged form. There is no necessity of it. You look at me. I have not exerted any effort for my austerity. Everything happened in me automatically. I have told you before so many times that I used to lie on my bed after taking heavy supper with meats and fried-rice and these realizations used to occur in me. Even I had no knowledge that God can be seen. For this reason I don’t take those prayers or worships. As everything happened in me spontaneously I always proceed with negations i.e., ‘I don’t want’. And for this cause I am simply Jiban Ghosh.
There is a great flaw in an individualistic austerity because if anybody says, ’This is merely a hypnotism Sir! I don’t believe in you’! So this is my desire that let the whole human race achieve the true religion i.e., oneness……..
Now I see that every human being is Brahma (Supreme). Everybody is the bearer of divine consciousness as Chandidas (Bengali saint and creator of some devotional lyrics in the mid centuries) said, ‘Listen my human brothers, above all things man is the truth and nothing above it’. So there is no imagination, no compromise.
From time immemorial, an eternal desire was flowing which has been manifested here. This eternal desire to be united with each other is fulfilled here. Perhaps I may not witness its ultimate effect, but I can see the fulfillment of great hunger for this oneness. Now ‘All is One’ and ‘All is All’. The truth is ‘All is All’.
