Where Is Grief for One Who Sees Oneness
To the one who knows, all beings have become the self. For one who sees this oneness, where is delusion, where is grief?
Does my grief come from seeing the world as fragments cut off from me?
📝Reflection
If the previous verse spoke of the end of hatred, this one touches the root of grief. Much of grief springs from the sense that 'I alone am cut off.' When the world looks like fragments unrelated to me, fear and loneliness grow. To see oneness is not sentimental comfort but the experience of the illusion of separation coming undone. It touches where the Stoic said the cosmos is a single city. When we see the connectedness, neither delusion nor grief finds a place to stand.
