If one is able to expand oneself to the consciousness of another person, one’s consciousness becomes as large as two persons’. And so it can become as large as a thousand persons’ when one accustoms oneself to try and see what others think. It is the understanding os two points of view, the opposite points of view, that gives a fuller insight into life. The “I” and “you” only remain as long as we see ourselves, but when we rise above them or beyond them, the thought brings us nearer and nearer to God in that consciousness in which we all unite.
