One
“Oneness”
There are many religions in life. Only humans know religions. Every religion has its own one-God in one-moment. This signifies that every religion has one-God as the absolute in one-moment. This is the oneness of the absolute one-God in one-moment.
Vegetation and animals do not know religion. Vegetation and animals do not have religion. This is because vegetation and animals do not know God or the oneness of the absolute-one in any one- moment. The absolute-one meaning God.
Weather in one-moment is free of religion in the space the weather is. Air, water, fire, time and space in one-moment too is free of religion. This is the oneness of the one-moment in space.
Every man, woman or child exists in the one-moment. That one-moment in which the man, woman or child exists is the family. The family may be many, but every moment is one in which exists the father, mother or child in the family. The family’s lifetime is one-moment at one time. This is the oneness of the relative one-moment.
Every man, woman or child has in every one-moment a particular movement and cannot have a movement other than the movement the one-moment has. This is the oneness of the movement that is present in each individual in the one moment at a time in which they exist during their life-time.
Every man, woman or child has in every one-moment a particular word and cannot have a word other than the word the one-moment has within it. This is the oneness of the word that is present in each individual in the one-moment at a time in which they exist during their life-time.
Every man, woman or child has in every one-moment a particular tone and cannot have a tone other than the tone the one-moment has within it. This is the oneness of the tone that is present in each individual in the one-moment at a time in which they exist during their life-time.
Every man, woman or child has in every one-moment a particular thought and cannot have a thought other than the thought the one-moment has within it. This is the oneness of the thought that is present in each individual in the one-moment at a time in which they exist during their life-time.
The enlightened realise that daily life is a one-way street. The enlightened live the oneness of their one life that happens to them. The enlightened do not judge or reject the oneness that happens to any one individual.

Editor’s Note:
Man is not the doer in his or her daily life or in his or her lifetime, as revealed by the wise. Accordingly, neither he nor she is the creator, be it of religion, or of weather - angry or calm, or of his or her own existence; nor of the particularity of any movement or of any spoken word; nor of tone or the particularity of any thought. Realisation that there is no one other than the one that is here and now is enlightenment. Realisation that there is no other pathway in life than the one that is present is enlightenment.

German Translator‘s Note:
Only through separation of the One in the mind into Two or Many does judgment, evaluation or rejection occur. Religion arises from the longing for oneness. Superficially understood, however, it leads to separation and conflict. The deep wisdom of oneness in all that appears separate to the mind is the true religion, which can be found equally in every religion through deep understanding.
