I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.
The great, unborn Self is undecaying, immortal, undying, fearless, infinite.
If a man considers that he is born, he cannot avoid the fear of death. Let him find out if he has been born or if the Self has any birth. ...Find from where thoughts emerge. Then you will be able to abide in the ever-present inmost Self and be free from the idea of birth or the fear of death.
Just don’t seek from another or you’ll be far estranged from Self. I now go on alone meeting it everywhere, it now is just what I am; I now am not it. You must comprehend in this way to merge with thus-ness.
You should discover your own reality and not thwart yourself. For you have the self as your only friend, or as your only enemy.
