[vasudevaram]

Every system of thought postulates the three fundamentals: individual, God and
the world. Only the one appears as the three. It is only as long as there is
the ego-sense that one says that the three are really three.
The best thing is to renounce the ego-sense and
remain in one's true sense.

(The Collected Works, 1968 edition)

On three entities — the individual, God and the world
— every creed is based. That ‘the One becomes the three’
and that ‘always the three are three’, are said only while the
ego lasts. To lose the ‘I’ and in the Self to stay is the State
Supreme.

Generic Translation:

Each religion presupposes three fundamentals:
'One source indeed stands as three fundamentals'
'Always three fundamentals'
Three fundamentals indeed!
This is said as long as the ego endures; (but)
the important thing is to remain in the Self-State, when the 'I'
perishes.
