When our perception is like a clear mirror, without subjective judgment, we find reality to be just right. In that unity, what could it mean that you want someone to love you? What could it mean that you are going to love someone? What does it mean that you are going to give anything to anyone? What does it mean that you are going to get anything from the universe? You are the universe. But there isn’t that boundary there is only one, there is only a oneness. Then you do not say, “I want you to love me.” “I want you to love me” means there is a person here, and that person over there is going to love this person here. If you have no circumference, all these concerns go. All these things which are the causes of people’s problems are based on the assumption that we have a circumference. Can I have my share, can you have your share? With the assumption of separateness come the issues of giving and receiving, loving and being loved, having and acquiring, and all of that. The interests of other people might not be your interests, and your interests might conflict with the interests of others, and then comes the issue of what’s mine and what’s yours. Of course, if you see reality through the idea that you start here and end here-of course, you will live your life in a certain way. But what if it is not really like that? You just think it is that way, and because you think it is that way, you see reality that way. You start over there, and you end over there.” That is how we experience ourselves. I end here, and the other person starts there. You have created this image and idea in your mind, and then said, “That’s me. In the experience of unity, the objective perception of reality is that the boundaries that you see are actually creations of your mind.
