the individual...

Think of yourself as the individual and you are sure to die;

think of yourself as the universal and you enter deathlessness,

for the universal is always and eternally there.

We know no beginning and no ending to the cosmic process.

Its being IS:

we can say no more.

Be that rather than this--

that which is as infinite and homeless as space, that which is timeless and unbroken.

Take the whole of life as your own being.

Do not divorce, do not separate yourself from it.

It is the hardest of tasks for it demands that we see our own relative insignificance amid this infinite and vast process.

The change that is needed is entirely a mental one.

Change your outlook and with it "heaven will be added unto you."
