"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

Ellaam Ondre (All is One)

'If you want moksha, write, read and practise the instructions in Ellaam Ondre.' - Sri Ramana Maharshi

UNITY 
Chapter 1

4. The good which is derived by your considering all as One cannot be had by considering each as separate from the other. Therefore all is One.

5. The knowledge of the unity of all, is good for you and good for others as well. Therefore all is One.

6. He who sees "I am separate", "You are separate", "He is separate" and so on, acts one way to himself and another way to others. He cannot help doing so. The thought "I am separate, others are separate" is the seed from which grows the tree of differing actions in relation to different persons. How can there be any lapse from righteousness for a person who knows the unity of himself with others? As long as the germ of differentiation is there, the tree of differing actions will flourish, even unawares. Therefore give up differentiation. All is One only.

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
