Summary
Ivan Antić: Awakening
"What you don't know is that the whole Universe is your body and you shouldn't be afraid of it. You can say that you have two bodies: personal and universal. Personal comes and goes, universal is always with you."
The whole creation is your universal body. You are so blinded by what is personal that you cannot see what is universal. This blindness will not stop by itself - it must be removed skillfully and carefully. When all delusions become comprehensible, understood and abandoned, you reach a state free from delusions, a perfect state in which there is no more distinction between the personal and the universal... Realizing yourself as an inhabitant of both bodies, you will give up nothing. The entire Universe will be your concern, interest, you will love and help every living being in the most gentle and wisest way. There will be no conflict of interest between you and others. Any exploitation will stop completely. Every action you take will be beneficial, every movement will be a blessing.”
