Two bodies...

Your own little body too is full of mysteries and dangers, yet you are not afraid of it,

for you take it as your own.

What you do not know is that the entire universe is your body, and you need not be afraid of it.

You may say you have two bodies:

the personal and the universal.

The personal comes and goes, the universal is always with you.

The entire creation is your universal body.

You are so blinded by what is personal, that you do not see the universal.

This blindness will not end by itself - it must be undone skilfully and deliberately.

When all illusions are understood and abandoned, you reach the error-free and perfect state in which all distinctions between the personal and the universal are no more...
