"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

You will lose everything!

Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj:

If, after what I have told you, you still decide to continue visiting me, I must warn you. You will not only not acquire anything, but you will lose whatever you have 'acquired' with so much effort over the past many years. What is more, you will even lose your self! So be warned! You will, if you continue to visit me, come to the conclusion that there is no 'me' or 'you' to seek enlightenment, indeed, that there is no such thing as enlightenment. The apperception of this fact itself is enlightenment!

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
