Atman - Unchangeable Truth

Always discriminate between the real and the unreal, and devote yourself heart and soul to the attempt to realize the Atman. 
There is nothing higher than this knowledge of the Atman; all else is Maya, mere jugglery. 

The Atman is the one unchangeable Truth. This I have come to understand, and that is why I try to bring it home to you all.
 “एकमेवाद्वयं ब्रह्म”, “नेह नानास्ति किञ्चन” --"One Brahman there is without a second", "There is nothing manifold in existence" (Brihadaranyaka, IV. iv. 19). 

                - Swami Vivekananda, 
                  Conversations and Dialogues, 
                  recorded by Sharat Chandra Chakravarty
