Mind creates a subjective notional world Limited by knowledge we see what we want to see The mind can't see beyond its thought constructs The lack of a valid pramana leads to self-deception Destroy your world by seeing yourself as the essence of the universe [Solo vinod] Like the eye which can't see itself, the I can't see the inner I Without shabda, you can't know your Self Without shruti, you can't see your Self Manobuddhyahankaracittani naham Na ca vyomabhumir na tejo na vayu Cidanandarupa shivoham shivoham* Destroy your world by seeing yourself as the essence of the universe Like clay in the pot, see yourself as the essence of the universe [Solo vinod] Vain reasoning is a bottomless pit Inflates the non-self with conceit Shabda alone leads the mind beyond the limit of thoughts To the self which is beyond logic and reason Aham nirvikalpo nirakararupa Vibhutvacca sarvatra sarvendriyanam Na casangato naiva na muktirna bandha Cidanandarupa shivoham shivoham* [*Nirvana Shatkam]
