Quote:I AM You, that part of you who is and knows… that part of you who says I AM and is I AM…
I AM the innermost part of you that sits within, and calmly waits and watches, knowing neither time nor space…
It was I Who directed all your ways, Who inspired all your thoughts and acts…
I have been within always, deep within your heart.
The Impersonal Life, Anon
Quote:Those wise ones who see that the consciousness within themselves is the same consciousness within all conscious beings, attain eternal peace.
The Katha Upanishad
Quote:I am the infinite deep
In whom all the worlds appear to rise.
Beyond all form, forever still.
So am I
Ashtavakra Gita
Quote:When I say "I am," I do not mean a separate entity with a body as its nucleus. I mean the totality of being, the ocean of consciousness, the entire universe of all that is and knows.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Quote:This pure Mind, the source of everything,
Shines forever and on all with the brilliance of its own perfection.
But the people of the world do not awake to it,
Regarding only that which sees, hears, feels and knows as mind,
Blinded by their own sight, hearing, feeling and knowing,
They do not perceive the spectral brilliance of the source of all substance.
Huang Po
Quote:The one "I am" at the heart of all creation,
Thou art the light of life.
Shvetashvatara Upanishad
Quote:From bliss all beings are born
By bliss they are sustained
And into bliss they again return
Taittiriya Upanishad
Quote:Return to the root is called Quietness;
Quietness is called submission to Fate;
What has submitted to Fate has become part of the always-so;
To know the always-so is to be Illumined
Tao Te Ching
Quote:You are the entire universe.
You are in all, and all is in you.
Sun, moon, and stars revolve within you.
Swami Muktananda
Quote:The Universe produced phenomenally in me, is pervaded by me…
From me the world is born, in me it exists, in me it dissolves.
Ashtavakra Gita
