"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

The Divinity, Immanent and Transcendent

In the womb moves the lord of life. Ever unborn, He is born in many forms. In Him alone reside all existing things. I know the drawn-out thread in which all these creatures are strung. I know the thread's thread. I know the great Brahman.

The Supreme Being has innumerable heads, eyes and feet. He pervades the earth on all sides ad fills the ten directions. This Purusha is all that has been and that is to be. Lord of Immortality, He grows by mortal food. Such is His greatness, yet greater than this is Purusha. All creatures make the fourth of Him, the three-fourths make the immortality in heaven. I have known this great Being, effulgent like the sun beyond darkness. By knowing Him alone one transcends death. There is no other way to go.

Divinity in Man

Devas, we have surely established our brotherhood with harmony in the mother's womb. Listen, all you sons of immortality, you who inherit the celestial regions.

When the Devas fused the mortal man complete, They all entered into him. Therefore one who knows man regards him as Brahman's Self.

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
