“You have to acquire that state in which you realize the entire universe to have become your body. The beasts, the birds, the mountains, the trees are your own self. The flooding rivers are like the circulation of blood in your arteries; the sun and the moon are like your eyes. It is your own heart that is throbbing in the thorax of all. Efface the idea that you are something separate or different from others. Only one conscious power is working throughout the universe. The power, force, energy, nature, or call it God or Brahman, is all-pervading and interpenetrating.”
“You have to realize this universal unity. As a matter of fact, you are really one with it. Rama repeats it again and again so that you may grasp the truth thoroughly and practice it in your daily life. Without this there is no success or realization of Self or God. It is this realization of spiritual unity with all which is the ultimate aim of the true religion. We have to achieve this realization by all possible means.
If you purify your heart by doing away with malice, jealousy, hatred, spite, rivalry, etc., and practice to love all like your own Self, forget and forgive those whom you consider your enemies, opponents, fault-finders and adversaries, you can attain this highest stage of realizing your oneness with all.“
