"The very first step in understanding what this is all about is giving up the concept of an active, volitional 'I' as a separate entity and accepting the passive role of perceiving and functioning as a process." - Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Jnana


Sri Ramana Maharshi:

It is false to speak of Realization. What is there to realize? The Real is as it is, ever. How to realize it? All that is required is this: we have realized the unreal, i.e., regarded as real what is unreal. We have to give up this attitude. That is all that is required of us to attain Jnana (Wisdom).

सर्वभूताधिवासं यद्भूतेषु च वसत्यपि।
सर्वानुग्राहकत्वेन तद्स्म्यहं वासुदेवः॥

That in whom reside all beings and who resides in all beings,
who is the giver of grace to all, the Supreme Soul of the universe, the limitless being:
I AM THAT. -- Amritabindu Upanishad
