________________
Contemplation upon the Self
I am the Soul. Sat - Chit - Anand... I am the Soul. Sat - Chit - Anand is my true form.
Sat... Sat is existence. I am a substance with existence. A permanent - eternal – indestructible substance. I shall always remain ... I cannot ever be destroyed. I was in the past, I am in the present, and ... shall be in the future. I am imperishable. The body is perishable. I have neither birth, nor death. What is born is the body... and what dies is also the body. I am neither born nor dead. The body is neither of me, Nor am I of the body. I am a complete chaitanya substance ... Independent of the body. I am the Soul.
Chit... Chit is chaitanya. Chit is knowledge. I am in the form of knowledge ... In the form of the Knower ... The Knower of the entire world. But my natural disposition of knowledge ... has turned passionate and is being scattered ... wasted from infinite time ... in trying to know the entire outside world ... through the medium of mind and intellect. I can now know my Self... only if I withdraw my involvement ... from the worldly substances ... and free my characteristic of knowledge ... from all passions ... and stabilise it in the effort of knowing the Self. I want to know my Self. I want to believe in my Self. I want to experience my Self. Sat - Chit - Anand
