"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

Tripura Rahasya

Hemalekha said,
  • The right means lies beyond these. However, the desire to possess them is born of delusion. The Master Wizard is Maheshwara. He being the creator of the universe, all are deluded by Him.
  • Just as there are a few who know how to see through the illusory tricks of the juggler and are not mystified by him, so also men can learn to overcome the universal maya if only the Lord is gracious to them. They can never escape from maya, without His Grace. Therefore, HE (Mahadeva) should be worshipped by those who are anxious to cross the ocean of maya.
  • He with whom God is graciously pleased is endowed with Mahavidya, the Supreme knowledge by means of his crossing of the ocean of maya is certain.
  • Therefore worship the Primal Cause of the universe as the starting point; be devoted to Him; He will soon enable you to succeed in your attempts to destroy the illusion.
  • Clearly the universe must have some origin.
  • Although the origin is shrouded in mystery, let us investigate the cause from the visible effect and be guided by the holy scriptures; and then the conclusion will be reached that there is a Creator in no way comparable to any known agents.

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
