The normal self is the mind. The mind is with limitations. But pure Consciousness is beyond limitations, and is reached by investigation into the "I."

The Self is the one Reality that always exists, and it is by the light of the Self that all other things are seen.

Self-inquiry is the process and the goal also. 'I am' is the goal and the final reality. To hold to it with effort is self-inquiry. When spontaneous and natural it is realization.

The ultimate truth is so simple; it is nothing more than being in one’s natural, original state.

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

Beyond the belief that something can be lost, there is nothing to lose.

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