When the mind becomes very quiet, it can become possible to realise that all gross and subtle perceptions are actually illusory and only the substratum-self is real.

If you lovingly, happily, repeatedly and consistently go towards this sense I AM, eventually you will merge into that, destroying your illusory sense of individuality (ie. ego).

What is then discovered is so much more than ‘the background of consciousness’ or ‘awareness’ or ‘being’…

…it is beyond all words and concepts and cannot be described…

…to put it into words one could say it is total infinite love and fulfillment

…but actually it is more than this too…

It is your ever-shining Self. You are That, now and always, but this is not to be believed by the ego-mind, but to be discovered directly in the Heart
