"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

  • Those who have given up worldly knowledge and attachment to it, and who have destroyed the evil force of mind (i.e., Maya), thus gaining Supreme Self-Consciousness, alone can know the correct meaning of the statement, "The world is real."
  • If one's outlook is changed into jnana (divine wisdom), seen through That, the entire universe, consisting of five elements such as ether and so on, will be found to be real, being the Supreme Knowledge Itself. Thus you should see.
  • If one's outlook is changed into jnana, seen through That, this same world, seen previously as a hell of misery, will be found to be a heaven of Bliss.
  • O foolish, illusory mind, deluded by seeing the daily dream which is nothing but your mind's own nature, if you discern the true nature of your own Self, which is sat-chit-ananda, can this world be anything other than That?
  • This empty world, bewildering with multiplicity, is, in its original state, unbroken uniform Bliss, just as the multi-colored peacock is, in its original state, the single-colored yellow egg-yolk. Abide as Self and know this truth.

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
