HE who perceives all beings as the Self, for him how can
there be delusion or
grief, when he sees this oneness (everywhere)?
HE who perceives the Self everywhere never shrinks from
anything, because
through his higher consciousness he feels united with all
life. When a man sees
God in all beings and all beings in God, and also God
dwelling in his own Soul,
how can he hate any living thing? Grief and delusion rest
upon a belief in
diversity, which leads to competition and all forms of selfishness.
With the
realization of oneness, the sense of diversity vanishes and the cause of
misery
is removed.
~The Upanishads: Translated By Swami Paramananda (Book)
