Description
“The Self, the very form of Awareness, is the sole verity and nothing else is real. All else, the so-called ‘knowledge’, that appears as manifold, is but ignorance. This ignorance too, which is unreal having no existence of its own, is not other than the Self – the very form of Chaitanya – Consciousness. Know that this is just like the unreal ornaments of different shapes made of gold that cannot be other than the truth of gold – the real.” ~ Reality in Forty Verses
