Awareness is ever there. It need not be realized. Open the shutter of the mind, and it will be flooded with light.
You are not the body. You are the immensity and infinity of consciousness.
Find what is it that never sleeps and never wakes, and whose pale reflection is our sense of 'I'
To know that you are a prisoner of your mind is the dawn of wisdom.
In reality, time and space exist in you. You do not exist in them.
I ask you only to stop imagining that you were born, have parents, are a body, will die and so on. Just try, make a beginning-it is not as hard as you think.
