Should we treat all divine forms of Parabrahman as equal?

[Shri Boya Uday asked: Padanamaskaram swami! All diverse forms and qualities resulted from one Parabrahman. Does this mean I should treat them all equal? How can I treat grass and tree as the same? Is rat and tiger the same? How is mountain and river the same? Can You help in understanding this concept 😊]

Swami replied:- An actor in different dresses of different roles is one and the same irrespective of the difference in the external dresses. I am not telling that all the different dresses are one and the same. I am only telling that the single actor present in these different dresses is one and the same. The unimaginable God is mediated in different media and is expressed to different devotees in different forms or dresses as per the different tastes of devoted souls. If a single devoted soul has the same liking for different dresses, such a devotee can have the same liking to the same unimaginable God (Parabrahman) present in different external dresses. Such a devotee has liking for God and also liking for all His different external forms (dresses). This does not mean that all the different dresses are one and the same. If another devotee has liking for God and liking for one dress only, he can worship God in that one form only. There is no difference between these two types of devotees because both are having the commonality, which is that both devotees like the same God to the same extent. The dress or form is not important when it is compared to the bearer of any dress or God present in any form with any name.
