You have never been, nor shall ever be, a person. Refuse to consider yourself as one. But as long as you do not even doubt yourself to be Mr. So-and-so, there is little hope. When you refuse to open your eyes, what can you be shown?
When you know beyond all doubting that the same life flows through all that is, and you are that life, you will love all naturally and spontaneously.
These moments of inner quiet will burn out all obstacles without fail. Don't doubt its efficacy. Try it.
Inquire, investigate, doubt yourself and others. To find truth, you must not cling to your convictions; if you are sure of the immediate, you will never reach the ultimate. Your idea that you were born and that you will die is absurd – both logic and experience contradict it.
