Q. If all actions and movements are the functions of the true-Self, why can’t we see the true-Self in our physical bodies which are impermanent?

A. The true-Self is formless, boundless, changeless and nameless, but it is the source of everything. We should see what never moves through all actions and movements and see what is formless through forms such as our physical bodies. All forms and their actions come into existence based on the true-Self, just as all winds come into existence depending on air. This means that all forms differ from each other, but they are the same in essence.

This is why it is said that all things are different from each other and there is nothing that is the same as anything else. However, everything is the same and there is nothing that is different from anything else.
