      If you don’t want to trouble yourself with dimensions, then simply go to the cause of your being, the cause of your existence. What is the cause of your existence? It is ego. Any limited existence is the creation of the unit called “I.” If you transcend this I-ness, you go beyond the conceivable, beyond dimensions, to Enlightenment. When you come to Enlightenment, actually you come to space. This may surprise you: space is nothing else but light. Space throughout—limitless space—is all light. All these stars that you see shining in the night seem to be the brightest points in space, but that is fallacious.
      You see the light from the sun and moon and stars rather than in space because you are living in a three dimensional world. When your consciousness opens to the fourth dimension you will see that space is more dazzling than the stars. Take an example on Earth. Let’s say each one of us is a star and in between there is space. Between each of us there is light but we do not see it. In full Enlightenment you will see the light within each of us, and outside us. When you realize the Light within you, the Kingdom of God within you, it does not end in your six-foot body. It is everywhere.
      The potential to reach higher dimensions is within you. You get glimpses through dreams and other experiences, because that potential wants to open. You shut it off for reasons of practicality: your job, family, home, ashram, money, food, credit cards, insurance, bank balance. These are real to you in the third dimension, but that is not the end of creation. Therefore Jesus said: “There are many mansions in my Father’s house.”

      In the meantime you are beset with many identifications, and that is the work of ego. Even if you travel into outer space it is ego-identification, only it is rarified. Therefore Enlightenment remains far away. Enlightenment is virgin space, where there is no identification. It is beyond stars and galaxies, beyond form or creation. If you go by scientific calculations, that virgin space is billions and billions of light-years away, what we call the unknown, the unmanifested, avyakta in Sanskrit. Now compare that with how we are struggling to give up ego in these three dimensions. This physical dimension is one percent of creation and another ninety-nine percent is needed to give up ego. Just imagine even touching ego where it really is, in the sixth dimension.
      If you want to have fun—“Let me see what is out there”— it will require billions of light-years just to see another galaxy. And there again you are beset with ego, which means you have not known the truth. Whatever equations and formulas Einstein and other scientists have given, you will never know the secret of creation until you lose your ego, until the subjective-objective relationship is transcended. When you are observing space or whatever phenomena, you are thinking or believing you are separate. This is a fallacy; you are trying as one phenomenon to observe all other phenomena. You will never know the secret of creation by that method.
      The day you become aware that this whole creation is not outside you or separate, you will touch upon the unified field. One corner of the whole can only know the whole when you merge into the whole. When you merge into that unity of which you are a part, you are giving up ego. But you are trying to know the totality while maintaining ego. We say, simply merge and find your unity. This is not spirituality versus science. On the contrary, at that point spirituality and science merge. Science will one day come to this realization: that we cannot know the truth objectively. Whatever we observe, we are creating. There will never be a time, without exception, when we will know the secrets of the universe while maintaining a separate identity.
