I am not something that exists. I am not something that is known, nor the knower of anything. I am not someone who can be free, nor someone who can be happy. Instead, I am the very condition for the possibility of the existent, the known and the knower, the free and the happy. To be more precise:
I am existence itself. I am knowledge itself. I am freedom itself. I am happiness itself.
As knowledge of a defect does not make the knowledge itself defective, I too am untouched by all defects and imperfections though I may witness them day and night.
As knowledge of misery does not make the knowledge itself miserable, I too am free from all misery and lowliness though I may witness them day and night.
As knowledge of bondage does not entail the bondage of knowledge, I too am devoid of all bondage and ignorance though I may see nothing but them.
As knowledge of mortality does not make the knowledge itself mortal, I too am immune to all death and decay though I may witness them day and night.
I am perfect and pure, wise and immortal, free and happy, blessed and beautiful, for I am forever untouched by all that is unlike my nature: I am the Transcendental Witness.
I am the “I” in all of you. Remind yourself this truth: If you are bounded and miserable it is only because you say so.
Very nicely written. Thank you.

I especially like the end sentence. “I am the “I” in all of you. Remind yourself this truth: If you are bounded and miserable it is only because you say so.”

dear tomaj it is watering and blissful.the nature is, until you surrender to the truth , it won’t allow you to make u feel/understand the powerful truth behind all what you said.it may be from the view point of you i may be that I you mention but from my aspect i am the sufferer and sinned.the greatest contribution of our Rishishs is that we are all children of same supreme self and posses the traits and quality of the parent who is joyful personified.
