Philosophy is full of words. There are four mahavakyas used in countless variations.
If consciousness is the metaphysical gound called brahman,
and the innermost self called atman is brahman,
then I am brahman,
tattvamasi.
footnotes
1. I minus avidya equals that minus maya means tattvamasi.
2. Objects are seen in the mind when the mind is turned on for both dream states.
3. When the mind is turned off in deep sleep, the seer still sees—no objects are there.
4. The absence of duality reveals the presence of nonduality, aum.
5. All gods, including the ones of scientific materialism, are accepted by Isvara on planet Maya. Worship responsibly.
6. Consciousness is the ground. Existence is the principle. Self-awareness is holistic infinite bliss.
7. Death shall be no more. Death, thou shalt die. Rave on John Donne. Rave on Shankara.
8. And the nominees are:
Deconstructing Spacetime in Grand Canyon.
Seeing through Causation in John Ford's Monument Valley.
The Legend of Basho Stopping at Matsushima and the Haiku He Never Wrote.
And the winner is Fleas, Lice, and a Horse Pissing by My Pillow.
