We human beings, can't conceive the nature, size or shape of our Creator, Brahman. Brahman is neither male nor female, but the creator of both. We can only know or feel God through love and faith when we are utterly pure and free from pride, lust and greed. When we realize God, we lose ourselves, and when we realize or are conscious of ourselves, we lose God (Brahman). Love and pride cannot co-exist.

Since the entire visible and invisible Infinite Universe is only an infinitesimal part of that Creator, we can only imagine the utter smallness of the Earth, not to speak of the little divisions of lands and people. Yet each one is a spark of that divine fire, a wave of that infinite ocean, a flower of that vast tree. Thus, all of us have a common root in our Creator. If we, in our pride, only realize our nothingness, and in our humility, realize our potential greatness, this world would be a better place -- the most beautiful place for all of us to live, enjoy and serve in.

No mathematical additions and subtractions work when dealing with our Creator. When a mother gives birth to a child, she doesn't become that much less, but remains the same in her pristine purity and infinite love. So it is with the Creator.

Thus, we would never fear lack of anything in this world if we humbly undersood this prayer and lived up to our true nature -- love. Only love comes out of God for God is love and nothing else. Evil is an illusion that has no basis. It does not have its own power to survive. Evil comes and goes, indicating its illusionary nature as everything else in this universe. Only the pure love within us is inseparable from God's infinite love. Divisions and separations are illusions like mirages of water in the desert.
