LIFE WAS THE LIGHT OF MEN.
God is the only existence, the only being: the only life there is; the only dance there is; the only movement, the only energy there is. In the ocean and in the waves, in the illusory world and in the truth, in the dreams and the dreamer, the only energy there is, is God. All is He; He is all.

For a single moment you open your eyes and you look.
THERE WAS A MAN SENT FROM GOD, WHOSE NAME WAS JOHN.
Unless God himself is going to do it, it seems almost impossible that you will be able to realize what is what. So all the religions of the world.... Hindus say AVATARS; they say, "Man himself is so helpless that God has to descend." AVATAR means
