26. Of all things, is not oneself the most beloved? When one limits

oneself by imagining oneself to be a body, one sees all these things

(the world and God), which are truly nothing but one¹s own Self, as

objects other than oneself, and hence one has desire for those

objects. That desire is only a distorted form of the true self-love

that is one¹s own very nature.

 

27. The love, which one always has for oneself, is not a thought;

that supreme love is one¹s own real Self that is existence-

consciousness-bliss (sat-chit-ananda). When a wrong knowledge rises

in the form of a thought whereby one mistakenly sees the one Self as

many objects, which are seemingly other than oneself, even the true

self-love will become a petty thought in the form of desire.
