Many, many seekers come to the Guru’s doorstep.
He gives one look and knows who is what, so
depending on the capabilities of the seeker, he
expounds the teaching to him accordingly. There
are those who have been around for some while
and have understood a bit. Now, as they depart,
they ask for some last parting words that may stand
them in good stead when they go. He tells them to
carry the conviction that the knowledge ‘I am’
within is God and live by it, that’s all.
185. To the One who meditates on the
knowledge ‘I am’, everything in the
realm of Consciousness becomes clear.
After understanding the knowledge ‘I am’ without
words, meditation on it, or the ‘Sadhana’
(practice), is a must, there is no escape from it. To
the one who follows the teaching of his Guru and
earnestly meditates on the wordless ‘I am’, all in
the realm of Consciousness will be revealed. He
will know how this Consciousness came to be and
how it is the Consciousness that is the creator of
everything. The ultimate revelation is that he is not
the Consciousness at all, but stands apart from it
as the Absolute, or ‘Parabrahman’.
