Anirudh: I have been told that, according to the Vedas, the Divine, living beings, and nature are described as separate. However, in my own experience and understanding, these three are one in essence. Living beings and nature are physically distinct, while the Divine is omnipresent. Since the Divine is everywhere, living beings and nature exist within the Divine, not outside it. When this unity or oneness is realized, it brings happiness and peace. In contrast, a sense of separation leads to sorrow and unrest. Please clarify whether they are separate or in oneness.
Swami Ram Swarup: This question has already been replied please. However, in vedas traitwad exist it means prakriti, almighty God and souls are different from each other based on their divine qualities.
