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’.
