"The basis of life is the consciousness of my existence, but not mine as I perceive myself, but of who I am, of who I really am. The rest just seems to be. I cannot recognize that there is in other beings but such a self as I arrive at when I free my own self from all that covers it and have the consciousness that other people are also me.

The basis of life is the consciousness of my existence, but not mine as I perceive myself, but of who I am, of who I really am. The rest just seems to be. I cannot recognize that there is in other beings but such a self as I arrive at when I free my own self from all that covers it and have the consciousness that other people are also me.
""Temeiul vieții este conștiința existenței mele, dar nu a mea așa cum mă percep eu, ci a celui care sunt, a celui care sunt cu adevărat. Restul doar pare a fi. Nu pot recunoaște că există în alte ființe decât un eu asemenea celui la care ajung când îmi eliberez propriul eu de tot ce-l acoperă și am conștiința că ceilalți oameni sunt tot eu."
