Sri Ramana Maharshi
"Be still and know that I am God." Here stillness is total surrender without a vestige of individuality. Stillness will prevail and there will be no agitation of mind. Agitation of mind is the cause of desire, the sense of doership and personality. If that is stopped there is quiet. There, 'knowing' means 'being'. It is not the relative knowledge involving the triads, knowledge, subject and object.
"I am that I am." I am is God - not thinking, "I am God". Realize 'I am' and do not think 'I am'. "Know I am God" - it is said, and not "Think I am God."
