I Am All - Daily Inspiration
The highest truth consists in the experience that one's own essence is identical with God, and this experience is attained through repeated conscious identification with the Whole.
I am all. This is the beginning of the experience of truth. Let it be and full realization is your highest flow. Are you conscious? Repeat again and again. I am this great Being.
The text reads from a book by Swami Samishivananda and describes the state of the greatest human beings as a losing of oneself in the consciousness of the highest Self. Such people are portrayed as one with God, where the vision of God is defined as the awareness of the essence of one's own being. God is described as the essence of all, which fills everything within and without. Whoever is surrendered to the Eternal enters a state of bliss and immortality and reaches the root of the universe. The central experience is formulated as 'I am all,' which is referred to as the beginning of the experience of truth. The text calls for repeatedly repeating the identification with the great Being and for understanding oneself as both the smallest and the greatest at the same time. The glory of the Divine is portrayed as boundless, with the claim that the speaker was once one with it.
