"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

Full Cannot Be Filled More

Sage Vasishtha

All relationship is therefore the realization of the already existing unity: it is regarded as relationship only because of the previous false and deluded assumption of a division into subject and object. In fact, there is only one All, the infinite consciousness. Therefore, O Rama, realize this universe as the infinite consciousness. It is filled with the jugglery of the power of that consciousness; yet, nothing has happened, for the full cannot be filled with more. It is filled only in the sense of a space which is filled with an imaginary city.

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
