The central paradox:

|I am nothing.||I am everything.|

Compare:

What is important is not to follow anybody but to understand oneself. If you go into yourself without effort, fear, without any sense of restraint, and really delve deeply, you will find extraordinary things.

In oneself lies the whole world and if you know how to look and learn, the door is there, and the key is in your hand.

J. Krishnamurti
