The Ribhu Gita (ऋभुगीता) forms the sixth part of Siva Rahasya Purana. It details in about two thousand verses the dialogue on the Self and Brahman between Sage Ribhu (who in turn heard it from Lord Shiva Himself) and Sage Nidagha on the slopes of the Mount Kedara in the Himalayas. (source: wikipedia).

- Whatever is found to exist is Sat (existence) only. Whatever is pleasurable is ananda (bliss) only. One should ever abide in the bedrock bhavana of sat-chit-ananda. Never for once should one slip, even inadvertently, into the disastrous bhavana that one is the body and that the world is real.
- One should abide in the rock-firm bhavana that 'Everything is only brahman-Self and I am that Brahman-Self'. By this bhavana all thought movements and nescience will disappear, resulting in the eternal abidance in the sole sat-chit-ananda Self.
- By abiding in the Self, the wandering mind is reduced to perfect stillness after being freed from all nescience and thought currents. It gets lost in the sat-chit-ananda Self in the same way that water is lost when mixed with milk. This unitary state of abidance in the Self is called Atma Nishta by the wise who have attained perfection.
