Just as nothing can be added to infinity or subtracted from infinity, nothing can be added to me or subtracted from me. In either the presence or absence of the illusory world, I am limitless consciousness. OM.
The body appears in me, all-pervasive consciousness-existence, like an object appearing in space. Just as space is untouched by the inherent defects of objects, I am untainted by the inherent defects of the body such as hunger, thirst, etc. I do not need to be liberated from the body because I was never bound by it—for how could I be bound by an unreal appearance? The unreal appearance called “body” is mortal and subject to destruction. This much is obvious. What is also obvious is that because I am unaffected by the appearance of the body, I immortal and indestructible. OM.
Lineage and social status belong to the body. But as consciousness, the witness of the body, I am beyond (unaffected by) lineage and social status because they are objects known to me.
I am not a cause because the so-called “effect” of the body-mind and world are unreal appearances that upon investigation are none other than myself. Since I alone exist, I cannot be divided. If I cannot be divided, then I have no parts. If I have no parts, then I cannot be a unity (collection) of parts. I am existence itself, one without a second. OM.
I am one alone, without a second. I am beyond all pairs of opposites such as happy and miserable etc. because they do not truly exist. If my mind is unshakably established in this knowledge, it is said to have steady wisdom. But ironically, this knowledge shows that I myself am beyond wisdom, steady or otherwise—I am neither this nor that. OM.
Like water remaining inherently formless despite assuming various forms like waves, clouds or mist, I, consciousness, remain inherently formless despite assuming various forms such as the body, mind and world. Untouched by these forms, I remain fully at peace. OM.
