Those who see all creatures in themselves and themselves in all creatures know no fear. Those who see all creatures in themselves and themselves in all creatures know no grief. How can the multiplicity of life delude the one who sees its unity? May the Lord of love, who projects himself into this universe of myriad forms, from whom ALL beings come and to whom all return, grant us the grace of wisdom. Those who dwell on and long for sense-pleasure are born in a world of separateness. But let them realize they are the SELF and ALL separateness will fall away. We are all things! All things are us! There really is only the SELF, all else such as form,name,me,and mine arise like bubbles in the ocean and just as the bubbles burst and become one with the ocean which is what they are anyway so will our form,and name be dissolved back into the supreme all that we are anyway. To end a quote from nisargadatta- In reality only the ultimate is. The rest is a matter of name and form. And as long as you cling to the idea that only what has a name and shape exists, the supreme will appear to you non-existing. When you understand that names and shapes are hollow shells without any content whatsoever, and what is real is nameless and shapeless, pure energy of life and light of consciousness, you will be at peace immersed in the deep silence of reality.
