Beyond the mind, there is no name and form. Beyond the mind is only pure Consciousness, and that is your identity. You are not of the world, the body, the senses, or the mind. That which ought to be known as “I” is only this self-luminous Consciousness, the Light of lights.

the “I am the body” misconception.

If you know sensations and the body, they are external to you. If you know thoughts, they are external to you. What is truly interior? This ought to be known.

The Self alone is actual experience. Everything else is merely imagined. There is no “all of it;” there is just the Self.

That which sees the play of the mind, untouched by it, is God. Since the existence of God is completely one with no parts possible, there is no room left for this “me.”

Echoes must have an original voice. If the original voice is I am that Consciousness, the omnipresent Siva, one silent truth of Being is resounding everywhere, and there is no one separate from this.

Maharshi's experience, sometimes referred to by devotees as his “death experience”? He did not die, but the false connection with the body died. It was a deathless death, and blissful immortality remained thereafter.

From where was the “I” born? The reference is not to the body. It is the sense of “I.” From where does the sense of “I” spring? Seek the source of that birth, and realize the unborn, eternal Truth.

There is, in truth, no outside world sensed and no actual senses. Just as in a dream, one senses things. If, in a dream, you sense something, the thing is not actually there, and the sensation is not actually occurring. It is all in the mind, or maya.
