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.

I am reading something from the book of Samishivananda. Sam, spiritual practice. The greatest people are those who have lost themselves in the consciousness of the highest self. Such people are absolutely close to God. Yes, they are one with God. The vision of God is the awareness of the essence of one’s own being. God is the essence of everything. He fulfills Himself within and without, and there is nothing that He is not. Whoever is surrendered to the Eternal loses themselves in the consciousness of God. He immerses himself in the ocean of bliss. He bathes in the sea of nectar. He drinks deeply from the essence of the imperishable. He reaches the source, the root of the universe. I am everything. 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. I am here and I am there. I am this, I am that. I am the smallest and I am the greatest. The glory of the Divine knows no limits, I am one with it. I am this imperishable, the magnificent, the highest truth.

Ich lese etwas aus dem Buch von Samishivananda. Sam, spirituelle Praxis. Die größten Menschen sindjenigen, die sich im Bewusstsein des höchsten selbst verloren haben. Solche Menschen sind absolut nah bei Gott. Ja, sie sind eins mit Gott. Gottes Schau ist das Gewahrwerden der Essenz des eigenen Wesens. Gott ist die Essenz von allem. Er erfüllt sich innen und außen und es gibt nichts, was er nicht ist. Wer dem Ewigen hingegeben ist, verliert sich im Bewusstsein Gottes. Er taucht ein in den Ozean der Wunne. Er badet im Meer von Nektar. Er trinkt tief von der Essenz der Unstapligkeit. Er gelangt zur Quelle, zur Wurzel des Universums. Ich bin alles. Das ist der Beginn der Erfahrung der Wahrheit. Stell es sein und volle Verwirklichung ist Ihr höchster Fluss. Seid Ihr bewusst? Wiederhole immer wieder. Ich bin dieses große Wesen. Ich bin hier und ich bin dort. Ich bin dies, ich bin das. Ich bin das Kleinste und ich bin das Größte. Die Herrlichkeit des Göttlichen kennt keine Grenzen, ich bin einst damit. Ich bin dieses Unstaplicher, das Großartige, die höchste Wahrheit.
