"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

Nature Of Reality

Sri Ramana Maharshi

a. Existence without beginning or end - eternal.
b. Existence everywhere, endless, infinite.
c. Existence underlying all forms, all changes, all forces, all matter and all spirit.
The many change and pass away (phenomena), whereas the One always endures (noumemon).
d. The one displacing the triads - the knower, the knowledge and the known. The triads are only appearance in time and space, whereas the Reality lies beyond and behind them. They are like a mirage over the Reality. The are the result of delusion.

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
