God is One...

"God is one, greatest among gods and men, in no way like mortals, having neither body nor mind.

He sees as a Whole, perceives as a Whole, hears as a Whole.,,

, He remains ever stationary, unmoving;

for there is no necessity for Him to go here and there on different occasions.

Without acting, He makes all things vibrate by the impulse of His Mind.

...It is only by long seeking that mortals may discover the Highest."
