Brahman is one, and God who encompasses everything, is the manifestation of Brahman alone. In the absence of this knowledge, there is so much intolerance among religious fanatics. If only they went back to learn their own scriptures, they would realize how futile hatred and fanaticism are.

All the wealth of the world belongs to Him, so He is the protector of wealth known as Kubera. He is fire, one of the essential elements of the world, He is the Meru mountain, which is considered to be the center of the earth, and the Sea, which is the total reservoir of all water.
