He who knows that he possesses neither being nor act rediscovers himself in that original state of pleasure and divine love.
Absolute consciousness is manifest here in every circumstance of daily life because it is everywhere full and perfect. Consciousness is said to be the cause of all things because it is everywhere emergent as each manifest entity.
