There is only One Being, One Existence, the ever-blessed, the omnipresent, the omniscient, the birthless, the deathless.
Wherever there are two, there is fear, there is danger, there is conflict, there is strife. When it is all One, who is there to hate, who is there to struggle with?
When it is all He, with whom can you fight?
This explains the true nature of life; this explains the true nature of being.
This is perfection, and this is God.
As long as you see the many, you are under delusion. Therefore know that thou art He; thou art the God of this universe, "Tat Tvam Asi" (That thou art). All these various ideas that I am a man or a woman, or sick or healthy, or strong or weak, or that I hate or I love, or have a little power, are but hallucinations.
Away with them!
