"That oneness is the true feeling of who we are. We are not the personality, or any particular aspect of essence. We are the whole thing, including emptiness and space, and we experience everything in complete harmony. When this happens, there is a sense of intimacy, an exquisite, personal intimacy, nothing excluded, nothing rejected. We also feel that we are both a person and a universal existence, that what is personal and what is universal are completely harmonious and can coexist. When our whole organism is in harmony on all its levels, there is no conflict. Love emanates from us like the scent from a rose."
