THE GREAT “I AM”

Thou art, and there is nought besides Thee!

Man’s myriad errors in thought and striving,

Seen and unseen, are not of Thee!

They are not,--

But self-eliminating,--

Since Thou alone art Truth and Love.

What is of man’s finiteness

Is nothing in Thy Everlastingness;--

He only is; That only is,

Which is a part of Thee in mind or matter!
