Let the end of the world be inside you, then you don't need to fear the end of the world out there.

It seems that most people need to experience a great deal of suffering before they will relinquish resistance and accept - before they will forgive.

In the stillness of your presence, you can feel your own formless and timeless reality as the unmanifested life that animates your physical form. You can then feel the same life deep within every other human and every other creature. You look beyond the veil of form and separation. This is the realization of oneness. This is love.
