To know the self as the only reality and all else
as temporal and transient is freedom, peace and joy. It is all very simple.
Instead of seeing things as imagined, learn to see them as they are. When you
can see everything as it is, you will also see yourself as you are. It is like
cleansing a mirror. The same mirror that shows you the world as it is, will
also show you your own face. The thought ‘I am’ is the polishing cloth. Use it.
