"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

Atma Dharma

Sri Ramana Maharshi

Atma dharma is inherence in the Self. There will be no distraction and no fear. Troubles arise only when there is a second and therefore no cause for fear. The man, as he is now, confounds the anAtmA (non-Self) dharma with Atma (Self) dharma and suffers. Let him know the Self and abide in it; there is an end of fear, and there are no doubts.

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
