Oneness of the Self !!

`When one realizes that That Supreme Self is the inner reality of all beings, when one realizes that all beings are verily his own Self,’

`Such a person, who is established in complete Oneness, when he sees that all is One, where in him is the place for delusion and where is the place for sorrow?’

They say there is no cure for baldness-but there is something that is worse – jealousy. When one sees somebody prospering, one is consumed with jealousy instead of feeling happy! Why is this? This is because one sees two people here- I am different, and you are different. But that person, who sees the essential oneness of everything, enjoys another person having something. He says to himself, ‘whether I have it or that person has it, it is the same thing.’ Of course, this is very easy to say but very difficult to actually feel. It needs lot of practice and while practicing one has to first firmly believe that the essential Self is not different in you and me.

When, one first firmly believe that the essential Self is not different in you and in me- `then there is no delusion, then there is no sorrow’- because when the world enjoys, it is my enjoyment! In the same way, therefore, such a person also must necessarily have compassion, because when somebody else suffers, it becomes his own suffering.

The `oneness of the Self’, where he is `alone’ but knows that `all is One’. Somebody once said that `alone’ really means `all One’, although we think that `alone’ means `separate’.
