If you begin to be what you are, you will realise everything, but to begin
to be what you are, you must come out of what you are not.
You are not those thoughts which are turning, turning in your mind; you
are not those changing feelings; you are not the different decisions you
make and the different wills you have; you are not that separate ego.
Well then, what are you? You will find when you have come out of what
you are not, that the ripple on the water is whispering to you ‘I am That’,
the birds in the trees are singing to you ’I am That’, the moon and the
stars are shining beacons to you ‘I am That’.
You are in everything in the world and everything in the world is
reflected in you, and at the same 6me you are That – everything.
(Shri Shantananda SaraswaM: Good Company, p 22)
