The Eternal Oneness of Life

The Eternal Oneness of Life

David Knights-Whittome (1876–1943)

Pray! 

Prayer is the affirmation by the soul of its unity with the One.

The eternal Oneness of life—that is redemption, both of man and of the earth.

Humanity is the One and humanity is the many and all together you may come into the inheritance of your Father, which is in heaven.

He is the One and the Many, for He is in the many and the many are in Him. You cannot realise Krishna save as you realise Him as the Self that is seated in the hearts of all beings. You cannot realise the Christ until you can see Him in the hearts of all beings.

If we could get into our consciousness a realisation, not a mere philosophic theory, of the One and the many, we would understand that the One is in all the many, whether some of them be our friends or our enemies.

In Him, we are One—a unit in the Great Universal Being—a microcosm in a macrocosm.

Are not all men sons of the common Father?

No man will ever know God until he consciously becomes One with God.

Jesus, the Master, reflected that Light pure and untrammelled during His dwelling in the density of crude matter. The Light dwells in all of us as a shining effulgence, the Light of Oneness with all Spirit, the blessed awareness and acknowledgement of unity with all creation, from the lesser to the Higher Orders, even to the Throne of Grace Itself.

Multitudes of people are like the million dewdrops in which the one sun is reflected. Untold millions of them but only one sun. So is our relation to the eternal One.

This is the statement which I have to make—that there are many gods and that the One God is the sum total of all of them. All gods exist in God. Do what you like with that statement, dear world, for truth is more vital than anybody’s dream, even yours or mine.
