If kalpswaroop remains nirvikalp (free from I-ness and my-ness), then it is a parmatma, and if it remains as vikalp (I-ness), then it is sansari (worldly living being). To live as nirvikalp, it is difficult to attain that even in millions of lifetimes. Only when one meets a Gnani Purush (the enlightened one), such a state can be attained.”

The Self is most simply described as the inner empirical deity and is identical with the imago Dei.”

[...] And it is a king imperilled, a sovereign forever at the mercy of many insurgents, of fear, for example, and anxiety, of isolation and bewilderment, of a strange unspeakable pride and a wild, silent shame. The self is beset by secrets, secrets eat at it constantly, secrets will tear down its kingdom and leave its sceptre broken in the dust.”

camp, he seeks refuge in the other. Men always find it distasteful to admit that the “reasons” on both sides of a dispute are equally valid—which is to say that violence operates without reason.
Tragedy begins at that point where the illusion of impartiality, as well as the illusions of the adversaries, collapses.”
