Only One

"All of the gods that you've been praying to all of your life, all of the buddhas you've taken refuge in, the krishnas, the Kali-mas, the Shivas, the Christ, Allah, they're all within you. You are that! There is no god that is external to you. There is no Buddha and god and you. There is only the one Self and you are that. Ponder this.

The knowledge of this brings you eternal infinite happiness, instantly. When you begin to understand who you are, your divine nature, that you are not the body, you are not the mind. Once you understand your infinite nature, who you really are and there is nothing else, you immediately become instantly happy. For happiness is your very nature. Happiness, the Self, are synonymous. Consciousness, absolute reality, pure awareness, are all synonymous. There is only one, has many names. But the one pervades all of space and time. That is the only existence and you are that. There is no other existence. Awaken to this truth. You are the only one that doesn't exist and you are consciousness.

Do you realize the implications?

This is what Moses meant in the old testament when he said, "The ground upon which I stand is holy ground." Everything is Brahman. Everything is God so-to-speak, everything. Nothing is excluded. When you truly understand this you have reverence for all of life, everything. You have reverence for the animals, the vegetables, the minerals, the human beings, the astral bodies, causal bodies. Everything that exists is Brahman. It's wonderful. What peace this gives you, what joy this gives you.'
