The idea that you are Mr. So-and-so can never be true;
it is a day-dream. Know this and be free.
This is the Advaita conclusion.
"I am neither the body, nor the organs, nor am I the mind;
I am Existence, Knowledge, and Bliss absolute; I am He."
This is true knowledge; all reason and intellect, and everything else is ignorance.
Where is knowledge for me, for I am knowledge itself!
Where is life for me, for I am life itself!
I am sure I live, for I am life, the One Being, and nothing exists except through me, and in me, and as me. I am manifested through the elements, but I am the free One.
