"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

Thus Spake Sri Rama

The sayings in this section have been collected from various sources like the Valmiki Ramayana, Adhyatma Ramayana and the Yoga Vasishtha Ramayana. 
  • Since you are dear to me, I have told you this. Whosoever thinks over this advice of Mine and acts accordingly, is really a wise man. He will be liberated from all sins. O Brother! Witnessing this whole world as being pervaded by Me, serve Me with great faith. You will thus be pure, happy, blissful and healthy.
  • Whoever serves Me at least once, mentally regarding Me as saguna (with attributes) as well as nirguna (without attributes) will be purified by the sacred dust of My feet, as the three worlds are purified by the rays of the Sun. This advice is not insignificant. This is the essence of all that is said in the srutis.
  • What I have advised you is the knowledge that can be obtained only by the study of vedanta. He who studies this with great faith and devotion to Me and My words will surely attain union with Me.

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
