The part that makes up the individual comes out of the whole, and the stuff of
which it is made is of such a transcendental nature that the whole remains whole, in spite
of something being taken out of the whole. Again, though what is taken out is but a part,
it is as whole as the original. The axioms of mathematics relating to the whole and the
part do not apply to the Absolute and its manifestations.
That is whole and this is whole. The
perfect has come out of the perfect. Yet the perfect remains, as before, perfect. As
the Soul is the life of the body which with out it would be a carcase, so is the Supreme
Spirit the essence of the individual Souls being. |
