"Inconceivable as it may seem to ordinary reason, you — and allother conscious beings as such — are all in all. Hence this life of yours which you are living is not merely a piece of the entire existence, but is in a certain sense the whole… . Thus you can throw yourself flat on the ground, stretched out upon Mother Earth, with the certain conviction that you are one with her and she with you. You are as firmly established, as invulnerable as she, indeed a thousand times firmer and more invulnerable. As surely as she will engulf you tomorrow, so surely will she bring you forth anew to new striving and suffering. And not merely “someday”:
Now, today, every day she is bringing you forth, not once but thousands upon thousands of times, just as everyday she engulfs you a thousand times over."
