My life is infinite and my history is limited.
Pure empathy for the suffering of others is the hallmark of divinity.
The Darkness which is the basis of light is the real Light.
If you ask, "what is true and what is false?" I say all that appears is true. We are using the name 'God'. For whom? For what kind of a being? We don't know what HE is like. We don't know the meaning of that word 'God'. 'God' means 'what is', 'Truth, Reality (Asalu). What is Reality? 'What is', 'what is', is God.
I say that man, you, I – all that appears is God. We hear it
is said that God is formless and invisible. ‘God’ means ‘Reality’. What is
Reality? All that is seen as objects – water, air, fire, light – isn’t this
Reality? They say, “For these objects to have come into being, and for these to
have become so many, there must have been some cause.” Did the forms come
through God, or are the forms themselves God? All that appears is God. I have
not seen a form that differs and is separate from all this which appears.
Creation is God. There is nothing other than this entire creation. Creation is
that which has become many.
