Response:

The light of our consciousness, the essence of our soul is pure awareness, but the specialness of our individuality is our own perspective on that unbounded consciousness. 

That perspective on wholeness is shaped by our character, our values, and history. 

Our individuality is just a modulation of the wholeness. 

We can know our true self as the one cosmic awareness that pervades the universe, and at the same time enjoy the diversity of creation through our unique individuality. 

We are each like diamonds in the sun, refracting and reflecting the one sunlight into our special colors. 

Love,

Deepak
