The Self and the Absolute

 

The Self and the Absolute

1. The absolute is real; the objects of the world are only relatively real. (Brahma satyam jagan mithya)

2. There is one absolute reality, without any division.
(Ekam evadvitiyam brahma)

3. To know that absolute reality in direct experience is the supreme knowledge. (Prajnanam Brahman)

4. That absolute reality is the essence of who you really are.
(Tat tvam asi)

5. The individual Self is one and the same with the absolute, like the wave and the ocean. (Ayam atma brahma)

6. Who I really am, at the core of my being, is that absolute reality, the ocean. (Aham brahmasmi)

7. All of this, including me, is that absolute reality; the wave and the ocean are one. (Sarvam khalvidam brahma)
