Thought for the day as written at Prasanthi Nilayam - Aug. 9, 2005

[Guest guest]

When one proceeds to attain the Atmic vision (vision of the Self), one

has to negate everything one perceives as being Non-Self, until at the

end of the journey, the Atma alone is cognised. The Atma admits of no

definition, no description, no designation. It is the end of enquiry,

the culmination of all endeavour, the silence that swallows all

speech. The primary seed of knowledge is "I am not the body". It

contains three entities: I, Body and Not. I is the Atma, the only

truth. The idea 'I' applies only to the eternal 'I', over which, the

transient 'I' is superimposed by ignorance born out of false

identification with the body.
