The inquiry "who am I" turns the mind introvert and makes it calm.

Peace can reign only where there is no disturbance, and disturbance is due to thoughts that arise in the mind.

The search "Who am I"...ends in the annihilation of the illusory "I" and the Self which remains over will be as clear as a gooseberry in the palm of one's hand.

The body dies, but the spirit that transcends it cannot be touched by death.

Having set one's family in consonance with the community, he should make his family prosperous to ensure the prosperity of the community.

There is a state when words cease and silence prevails.

That which rises and sinks is made up of what it rises from. The finality of the universe is the God Arunachala. Meditating on Him or on the seer, the Self, there is a mental vibration 'I' to which all are reduced. Tracing the source of 'I', the primal 'I-I' alone remains over, and it is inexpressible. The seat of Realisation is within and the seeker cannot find it as an object outside him. That seat is bliss and is the core of all beings. Hence it is called the Heart. The only useful purpose of the present birth is to turn within and realise it. There is nothing else to do.
