When we realise our oneness with our RULER, then the matter shall have no longer power over us, and we shall see it as the unreality it is.

All men die. You may say: ‘Is that encouraging?’ Surely yes, for when a man dies, his blunders, which are of the form, all die with him, but the things in him that are part of the life never die, although the form be broken.
