If you do not have the knowledge ‘I am’ who is going to seek?<br />

You must be, only then the search can begin. Remember the<br />

knowledge ‘I am’ – that alone pervades everything – be only that<br />

and give up the rest.<br />

212<br />

At the moment <strong>of</strong> death it is the culmination or termination <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Self-experience, ‘I am’. After the termination <strong>of</strong> ‘I amness’ there is<br />

no experience <strong>of</strong> knowingness or not knowingness, the<br />

knowingness is a quality <strong>of</strong> the material stuff.<br />

213<br />

All this knowledge has dawned on me, I am not the knowledge.<br />

<strong>The</strong> knowledge ‘I am’, and all its manifestations, are understood.<br />

In understanding, I am not that.<br />

214<br />

To establish oneself firmly in the awareness ‘I am’, it is not<br />

necessary to think ‘I am’, ‘I am’. Is it necessary to think you are<br />

sitting here? You know that you are sitting here. Whatever name<br />

and form there is belongs to that material and that material is not<br />

you. Do you analyze the problem and with the firm conviction<br />

decide that you are not the material? When the material<br />

disintegrates what does the name refer to? Does it have any<br />

significance? Only one in ten million goes to the crux <strong>of</strong> the<br />

matter, analyzes what it is, comes to a conclusion, and gets<br />

liberated, all by himself. <strong>The</strong> one who gets liberated is the<br />

consciousness, there is no entity.
