"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

Guru Vachaka Kovai

Sri Ramana Maharshi
  • For the sake of those (ignorant ones) who take the world, which appears before them, as real and enjoyable (it became necessary for the scriptures to say that) it is God's creation. But for those who have obtained unobstructed knowledge of Self, the world is seen merely as a bondage-causing mental imagination.
  • This world of empty names and forms, which are the imagination of the five senses and an appearance in the pure Supreme Self, should be understood to be the mysterious play of Maya, the mind, which rises as if real from Self, Sat-Chit.

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
