The One...


"Where one sees nothing but the One,

hears nothing but the One,

knows nothing but the One --

there is the Infinite.

Where one sees another, hears another,

knows another -- there is the finite.

The Infinite is immortal, the finite is mortal.

He who has realized Eternal Truth does not see death,
nor illness, nor pain.

He sees everything as the Self, and obtains all."
