perceive.

hai sarav viapi phir vi sabh tu niara hai

Gianni may not see any distinction

The sea exists, whether waves are to be seen or not
Nirankar exists, whether His Creation is to be seen, or not

UpanishadsUpanishads
There is a Spirit who is amongst the things of this world, and yet
he is above the things of this world.
UpanishadsUpanishads
He is clear and pure, in a void of vastness.
He is beyond the life of the body and the mind.
UpanishadsUpanishads
Never born, never dying, everlasting, ever one in His own
greatness.
UpanishadsUpanishads
He is the Spirit whose power gives consciousness to the body : he is the driver of the chariot
Ralph Waldo TrineRalph Waldo Trine
This is the spirit of infinite love
The moment we recognise ourselves as one with it…
…we become so filled with love that we see only the good in all.
And when we realise that we are all one with the infinite spirit…
…then we realise that we are all one with each other
We then realise that we cannot serve or hurt another, without
by that very act serving or hurting ourselves
