So everything is at risk in how we live now at this very moment: How we live now can cost us our entire future.

Meditating on Him or on the seer, the Self, there is a mental vibration 'I' to which all are reduced. Tracing the source of 'I', the primal 'I-I' alone remains over, and it is inexpressible.

The only useful purpose of the present birth is to turn within and realise it. There is nothing else to do.
