Multiplicity Is Only Apparent, In Truth, There

An Animal That Embarks On Forming States Without Greatly Restricting Egoism Will Perish.

Vedanta Teaches That Consciousness Is Singular, All Happenings Are Played Out In One Universal Consciousness And There Is No Multiplicity Of Selves.

Thus You Can Throw Yourself Flat On The Ground, Stretched Out Upon Mother Earth, With The Certain Conviction That You Are One With Her And She With You. You Are As Firmly Established, As Invulnerable As She, Indeed A Thousand Times Firmer And More Invulnerable. As Surely As She Will Engulf You Tomorrow, So Surely Will She Bring You Forth Anew To The New Striving And Suffering. And Not Merely "some Day." Now, Today, Every Day She Is Bringing You Forth, Not Once But Thousands Upon Thousands Of Times, Just As Every Day She Engulfs You A Thousand Times Over.

We Do Not Belong To This Material World That Science Constructs For Us. We Are Not In It; We Are Outside. We Are Only Spectators. The Reason Why We Believe That We Are In It, That We Belong To The Picture, Is That Our Bodies Are In The Picture. Our Bodies Belong To It. Not Only My Own Body, But Those Of My Friends, Also Of My Dog And Cat And Horse, And Of All The Other People And Animals. And This Is My Only Means Of Communicating With Them.

Every Man's World Picture Is And Always Remains A Construct Of His Mind And Cannot Be Proved To Have Any Other Existence.
