Seventy-five. Now. “In truth, in reality, all forms are inseparate. Inseparate are the omnipresent Being as well as your own form. Therefore, realize each form as made of this omnipresent Consciousness.” […] It means that in reality, there is no such thing as form, as separate individual characters and objects.

How am I? What am I? Who am I?
