"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

From Guru Vachaka Kovai

  • 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.
  • Those who have attained their aim, Jnana, do not see this world as a multitude of differences, since the multiple differences of this world are a sportive play of Chit-Shakti, the one Whole.
  • For the Jnana, who, free from the I am the body idea, is established in Self, this world shines as His own Self-Knowledge; and therefore it is wrong for us to see it as something different.
  • By turning Selfward, you destroy your delusion, this world; what then remains as ‘this is void’ is known by you, Self; so, to destroy this [apparent] void also, drown it in the ocean of Self-Knowledge.
  • If you abide in the Heart as Sat-Chit [‘I am’], by which the whole universe exists and shines, then this world will also become one with you, losing its false, frightening dualities.
  • He who knows this world-appearance to be his own form, Supreme-Consciousness, experiences the same Consciousness even through his five senses.

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
