From The Holy Science, by Jnanavatar Swami Sri Yukteswar Giri:
***********
Ch 1 (The Gospel), Sutra 18 (excerpt from commentary):
“When man thus entering into the spiritual world becomes a Son of God, he comprehends the universal Light – the Holy Ghost – as a perfect whole, and his Self as nothing but a mere idea resting on a fragment of the Aum Light. Then he sacrifices himself to the Holy Ghost, the altar of God; that is, abandons the vain idea of his separate existence, and becomes one integral whole.”
***********
Conclusion (-- the last section of the book --)… “To whatever religious creed a man may belong and whatever his position in society, if he properly cultivates this ruling principle naturally implanted in his heart, he is sure to be on the right path to save himself from wandering in this creation of Darkness, Maya.”
can we even imagine that to be a mere idea a fragment of vibration that is projected on a stre of
light from God. it certainly gives us some perspective on the human/material dimensiom that we consider so real.
