“[I am] the nature of Pure Consciousness. I am always the same to beings, one alone; [I am] the highest Brahman, which, like the sky, is all-pervading, imperishable, auspicious, uninterrupted, undivided and devoid of action. I do not belong to anything since I am free from attachment. [I am] the highest Brahman… ever-shining, unborn, one alone, imperishable, stainless, all-pervading, and nondual-That am I, and I am forever released.” – Shankara, The Upadesasahasri
