ALL IS ONE .
It is not the infinite of
space, but the real Infinite, beyond space, beyond time.... Such is the world
missed by the Occident.... Their minds have been turned to external nature and
nature's God. Look within yourself and find the truth that you had forgotten.
Is it possible for mind to come out of this dream without the help of the gods?
Once you start the action, there is no help unless the merciful Father takes us
out.
That would not be freedom,
even at the hands of the merciful God. Slavery is slavery. The chain of gold is
quite as bad as the chain of iron. Is there a way out?
You are not bound. No one
was ever bound. The Self is beyond. It is the all. You are the One; there are
no two. God was your own reflection cast upon the screen of Maya. The real God is
the Self. He whom man ignorantly worships is that reflection. They say that the
Father in heaven is God. Why God? It is because He is your own reflection that He
is God. Do you see how you are seeing God all the time? As you unfold yourself,
the reflection grows clearer.
"Two beautiful birds
are there sitting upon the same tree. The one is calm, silent, majestic; the
one below[the individual self, is eating the fruits, sweet and bitter, and becoming
happy and sad. But when the individual self beholds the worshipful Lord as his
own true Self, he grieves no more." (Mundaka Upanishad, III. i. 1-2.)
... Do not say
"God". Do not say "Thou". Say "I". The language
of dualism says, "God, Thou, my Father."
The language of non-dualism says, "Dearer unto me than I am myself. I
would have no name for Thee. The nearest I can use is I....
"God is true. The
universe is a dream. Blessed am I that I know this moment that have been and shall be free all eternity; ...
that I know that I am worshipping only myself; that no nature, no delusion, had
any hold on me. Vanish nature from me, vanish these gods; vanish worship; ...
vanish superstitions, for I know myself. I am the Infinite. All these — Mrs.
So-and-so, Mr. So-and-so, responsibility, happiness, misery — have vanished. I
am the Infinite. How can there be death for me, or birth? Whom shall I fear? I
am the One. Shall I be afraid of myself? Who is to be afraid of [whom]? I am
the one Existence. Nothing else exists. I am everything."
It is only the question of
memory of your true nature, not salvation by work. Do you get salvation? You are already free.
