Separativeness...

The sage has conquered separativeness in his mind and realized the
ALL as himself. The logical consequence is tremendous. It follows that
there is no liberation from the round of births and rebirths for the
sage; he has to go through it like the others. Of course, he does this
with full understanding whereas they are plunged in darkness. But if
he identifies himself with the All, then he can't desert but must go
on to the end, working for the liberation of others in turn. This is
his crucifixion, that being able to save others he is unable to save
himself. "And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, `And he was
numbered with the transgressors.'^^ Why? Because compassion rules him,
not the ego. Nobody is likely to want such a goal (until, indeed he is
almost ready for it) so it is usually kept secret or symbolized.
Again: "For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for
many for the remission of sins."..........Paul Brunton
