"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

A few talks

Sri Ramana Maharshi

A man prayed to the Master to pardon his sins. He was told that it would be enough if he took care to see that his mind did not trouble him.
......

The Master cited Kaivalya as follows:

The disciple, after realizing the all-shining, unitary, unbroken state of Being-Knowledge-Bliss, surrendered himself to the master and humbly prayed to know how he could repay the master's Grace.

The master said:

"My reward consists in your permanent unbroken bliss. Do not slip away from it."

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
