When the individual being identifies itself with the One, there is a realization: the death of the limited self gives birth to the immortal Self and there is no need to be concerned with any experience beyond “death”.
Our detached, disconnected, and fragmented view of the Universe is the underlying cause of all our ills. It is this ego-sensation, wherein we view ourselves as something separate from everything else, that pits two “opponents” — mankind and nature — in a foolish, futile, and ultimately disastrous confrontation.
We think about the past and future. But what are the past and future beyond mental concepts? The past and the future are not the manifest here and now. We react to situations as they arise. But we should be aware that “imagining an outcome” and “looking back on a choice” are present moment activities.
