God being totality is absolute perfection. When the true self is realised, the self merges with totality and the phenomenal world is then perceived as a reflection of that perfect totality rather than a reflection of the ego-mind. <br /><br />The answer is always to "know thyself " and the question is always "who am I?".<br /><br />Love always<br />Charles GoodwinCharles Goodwinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14906335625209699165noreply@blogger.com
