You are where you are;
these dreams, these various clouds
move.
One dream follows another without connection.
There is no such thing as
law or connection in this world,
but we are thinking that there is a great deal
of connection. …
… When we wake from this dream of the world and compare it
with the Reality, it will be found all incongruous nonsense, a mass of
incongruity passing before us, we do not know whence or whither, but we know it
will end; and this is called Maya,
and is like masses of fleeting fleecy
clouds. They represent all this changing existence, and the sun itself, the
unchanging, is you.
When you look at that unchanging Existence from the
outside, you call it God; and when you look at it from the inside, you call it
yourself.
It is but one. There is no God separate from you, no God higher that
you, the real "you".
