Better than sovereignty over all the earth is loving relationship with a personal God in the bliss of eternal heaven.
Better than loving relationship with a personal God in eternal heaven is merging into cosmic consciousness without separation into this or that person.
Better than merging into cosmic consciousness without separation into this or that person is utter release into deathless nibbana without remainder and without landing place.
Verily is this the end of suffering. And this is the ultimate meaning of “abiding in Christ” — that is, in his innermost non-abiding essence.
