Mind tempting you with words

Don't be interested in the words that the mind is serving up for you. It is putting them there to tempt you into a stream of thoughts that will take you away from the Self. You have to ignore them all and focus on the light that is shining within you. (Cow Lakshmi Day)

Giving up false identification

When I say give up your false identification with the "I am the body" idea, I don't mean that you are not the body, I mean that you should give up the idea that you are only the body. You are all bodies, all things, all creation, but this knowledge will not come unless you give up identifying with particular objects, such as "I am the body" and limiting thoughts such as "I am this person". When you have given up all thoughts, all identifications, the true knowledge suddenly dawns on you: "I am the unmanifest Self, and I am also the whole of manifestation."

The beginning and the end of knowledge is the ‘I am’, be attentive to the ‘I am’, once you understand it, you are apart from it.
