Merged in that ocean of love and bliss, all separation, all individualism vanishes.

Excerpt

For the non-dualist the lover becomes an ocean of love, the concrete becomes abstract; the true and permanent state of which our nature consists, but which we do not recognise through nescience. From nescience arises egoity (“I” and “mine”), and the very idea is a limitation of love. Merged in that ocean of love and bliss, all separation, all individualism vanishes.

Today, each time you think “mine” about a thing or an idea, smile and inwardly open it to others, then offer someone a small token of kindness, expecting nothing.
