"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

Look at your consciousness


Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj:

Your consciousness alone is taking care of everything; look at your consciousness as God. The first thing you do after waking up is to meditate on that consciousness, that "I Amness", worship that consciousness for sometime before you start your daily activities. Before you fall asleep at night, again abide in that consciousness, "I Amness". Be devoted to that, and in such a mood go into sleep.

That consciousness which meditates on the Self, that Self will be revealed to you.

People worship so many Gods, but these Gods are only concepts which have occurred to the mind. People say that want to save themselves; save what? What are you trying to save?

All your knowledge is dissolved here, so you can have no pride of being a jnaani when you leave here.

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
