More on 'The Soul'

[Guest guest]

>From our previous post...

 

Thus we get the result that in the State of Deliverance there is no world,

whether of things and persons, or of thoughts — that the whole world is in the

ego, and is nothing but the ego...” "

 

[To continue...}

 

"This is in perfect agreement with the teaching of ancient lore, which is

clearly expressed in the Mandukya Upanishad, which says that “He is worldless,

blissful, calm, without difference.” There are other equally clear statements

in the ancient lore, which assert the utter absence of difference in the

Egoless State. “There is no manifoldness at all here.”

 

"And this is impressed by warnings to the seeker of the Truth, not to get

entangled in the false belief that differences are real. We are told that

whoever takes differences to be real shall die again and again. He that

imagines the least difference between himself and the Truth shall be the victim

of fear.3 Whatever is conceived by one as other than the Self has the power to

deceive him.”
