"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

Aum

The Supreme Bhagavan is the same as what is known brahman - the Supreme Spirit who is of the nature of unbroken bliss, untouched by sorrow, peaceful, fearless, always the same, always unaffected, of the nature of consciousness, stainless and beyond the  opposites of cause and effect. Even the vedic statements cannot describe Him fully, nor can ritualistic actions requiring the help of many accessories, help one to attain Him.

- From Srimad Bhagavatam

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
