OKC Amma Satsang Logo

Wisdom is knowing we are all one.
Love is what it feels like;
and compassion is what it acts like.

The eye in the logo is the eye of wisdom with which one sees beyond the appearance of the many objects and beings in the universe. With the eye of wisdom one sees unity and wholeness everywhere and in all things. Contrary to this, the senses impart a fragmented view of reality in which people and things appear to be separate. Jesus comments on seeing with the single eye of wisdom:

The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! Matthew 6:22-23, KJV

The idea that everything is connected as a whole is further revealed in quantum physics and the revelation of Bell's Theorem. This states that the objects of the universe (people, rocks, tables, galaxies) have no local (separate) existence but that every object is simultaneously affecting every other object. Everything is connected as a whole. Bell's Theorem has been scientifically demonstrated in the laboratory.

The heart represents love. If one has gained the transcendent vision of wholeness, then pure unconditional love will also be there. It may be equally said that if one has gained pure love, then wisdom will be there. Each can be regarded as the path to the other. Love is the echo of unity in this world of the many. Love arises from the stillness of our Original Nature. In truth, wisdom and love are inseparable. Wisdom is transcendent while love is immanent. They are two sides of the same coin.

The rays of light emanating from the logo represent compassion. Compassion is wisdom and love in action. Spiritual practices are meaningless if we are not able help those who are struggling. Thus compassion completes the full expression of human existence.
