*Words of Wisdom*
Objects and their knowledge are only reflections in the eternal, self-luminous, supreme Consciousness which is the same as the knower and which alone is real. The doubt that the reflection should be of all objects simultaneously without reference to time and place (contrary to our experience), need not arise because time and space are themselves knowable concepts and are equally reflections. The specific nature of the reflections is the obverse of the objects found in space.
Therefore, Prince, realize with a still mind your own true nature which is the one pure, undivided Consciousness underlying the restless mind which is composed of the whole universe in all its diversity.
If one is fixed in that fundamental basis of the universe (i.e., the Self), one becomes the All-doer. I shall tell you how to inhere thus. I assure you - you will be That.
~ Tripura Rahasya (chapter IX, verses 90-93)
