    Steady Wisdom: 108 Days of Changing My Thinking

    DAY 11

    I am not limited by the body, senses, or intellect. Good and bad karma do not affect me in the least. Old age and death, hunger and thirst, grief and delusion do not touch me. I am none other than pure consciousness, the ever-free.
    – Sarva Vedanta Siddhanta Sara Sangraha V.841
    Meditation

    I am pure consciousness. The body, senses and intellect are known to me so they cannot be me—nor can they limit me. Good and bad karma, old age and death pertain to the body—they do no pertain to me, pure consciousness. Hunger and thirst belong to the senses—they do not belong to me, pure consciousness. Grief and delusion affect the intellect—they do not affect me, pure consciousness. I am untouched by them all. I am ever-free. OM.

    DAY 10

    I need no support but I am the support of all; I have no desires to be fulfilled; I am the immortal, changeless self.
    – Brahma Jnanavali V.15
    Meditation

    The universe depends on me but I do not depend on it. For how can anything exist without me, existence itself? Therefore, I do not have to rely on the body, mind or world for security. Because they are ever-changing and unreal objects, they have nothing to offer me, the immortal, changeless self. So I watch the objects come and go, all the while remaining satisfied in myself. OM.

    DAY 9

    Attachment and aversion belong to the mind but the mind does not belong to me. I am unchanging consciousness, free of all thought.
    – Ashtavakra Samhita 15:5
    Meditation

    The mind, being an ever-changing flow of thoughts such as attachment and aversion, is not real. Being unreal, it cannot belong to me anymore than a dream house can belong to me upon waking. Because I am the ever-present, unchanging witness of the unchanging mind, I am free of all thought. Thoughts come and go but I, consciousness, remain unaffected. OM.

    DAY 8

    I am without beginning, middle and end. I am never bound. By nature I am pure and perfect—this is my firm conviction.
    – Avadhuta Gita 1:44
    Meditation

    Objects alone have a beginning, middle and end. But being the essence of all objects, I myself am not an object—therefore I am eternal. Bondage, impurity and imperfection, being concepts that refer to the state of objects, do not and cannot affect me. OM.

    DAY 7

    The knower, with all objects negated is ever the same like space, one without a second, ever liberated and ever pure—I am the brahman alone.
    – Upadesha Sahasri 12:11 (Metrical)
    Meditation

    When the reality of the body, mind and world is negated, I alone remain—I am one without a second. Since unreal objects cannot taint me or create a real difference in me, I am ever the same and pure like space. Like space I am never bound by the objects that appear in me. I am brahman alone. OM.
