"From the pure, real point of view, it is one conscious being, there is no room for any other notions in that unbroken substance.", 15.
"He, having known the soul, by himself as one, uncreated, highest, peaceful and devoid of all defects, remains steady in himself." 18.
"The same (self-absorbed) is staying in the path of immortality, the same enjoys the nectar of bliss, the same is the worshipful lord of this universe and the same is Almighty God." 19.
"That highest light has the nature of independent knowledge, perception and bliss; on knowing it, nothing remains to be known; on seeing it nothing remains to be seen, on hearing it nothing remains to be heard." 20 "That which is pure consciousness is undoubtedly 'I,' really it is devoid of even this notion. It is the home of bliss.".
Nischaya Panchâśata by the same author. मनसोऽचिन्त्यं वाचामगोचरं यन्महस्तनोभिनं । स्वानुभवमात्रगम्यं चिद्रपममूर्त मन्याद्रः ॥ नैवात्मनो विकारः क्रोधादि किन्तुकर्मसंबधात् । स्फटिक मणेरिव रक्तत्व माश्रितात्पुष्पतो रक्तात् ॥
