The state of unity with the whole brings a constant certainty that only this state is real and permanent. That it is that last protection which one has always sought, and from which one can never more be lost. There is nothing ahead of it, for, it is all. The conception that we know as ‘death’ is obliterated, but this does not denote that we are in that state thought of as ‘life after death’. The only fact one knows is, that this life will for ever and a day go on. In this state of being there are no such fake distinctions of time as past, present, and future.
