WHOM SHALL I FEAR ? I AM THE ONE EXISTENCE. SHALL I BE AFRAID OF MYSELF ?


I am the Infinite. All these — Mrs. So-and-so, Mr. So-and-so, responsibility, happiness, misery — have vanished. I am the Infinite. How can there be death for me, or birth? Whom shall I fear? I am the One. Shall I be afraid of myself? Who is to be afraid of [whom]? I am the one Existence. Nothing else exists. I am everything "
