The Master said to me:

All beings are but the 'One Mind'
(consciousness-spirit)
beside, which nothing exists

This Mind (consciousness-spirit)
which is without 'beginning'
is unborn and indestructible

It...has neither form
nor appearance

It does not belong to
the categories of things
which exist, nor do not exist ...

For it transcends all limits...
It is all that
which you see before you...

It is like the boundless void
which cannot be fathomed
or measured

The One Mind
(consciousness/spirit)
alone is Spirit

And there is no distinction
between Spirit
and sentient things

But that sentient beings
are attached to 'forms'

And so seek externally
for a 'godhood'

By their very seeking
they 'lose' it

For that is using the Spirit
to seek for the Spirit

And using mind
to grasp Mind

Even though they do their utmost
for a full aeon

They will not be able
to 'attain' it

They do not know that
if they put a stop
to conceptual thought
and forget their anxiety

The Spirit will 'appear before' them

For this Mind 'is' the Spirit

and the Spirit 'is'
All living Beings .
