the sense of "I am" is your own...

The sense of ‘I am’ is your own. You cannot part with it, but you can impart it to anything, as in saying, I am young, I am rich, and so on. But such self-identifications are patently false and the cause of bondage. -- Dr. Ram Sharma, Meerut, India

to know the self as the only reality...

To know the self as the only reality and all else as temporal and transient is freedom, peace and joy. It is all very simple. Instead of seeing things as imagined, learn to see them as they are. When you can see everything as it is, you will also see yourself as you are. It is like cleansing a mirror. The same mirror that shows you the world as it is, will also show you your own face. The thought ‘I am’ is the polishing cloth. Use it.

Bliss...

...Bliss is not something to be got.
On the other hand you are always Bliss.
This desire [for Bliss] is born of the sense of incompleteness.
To whom is this sense of incompleteness?
Enquire. In deep sleep you were blissful.
Now you are not so.
What has interposed between that Bliss and this non-bliss?
It is the ego.
Seek its source and find you are Bliss

you cannot find stars when the sun rises...

Ram Sharma

You see many stars in the sky at night, but not when the sun rises. Can you therefore
say that there are no stars in the heavens during day? O man because you cannot find God
in the days of your ignorance, say not that there is no God.

I am Thine...

I AM THINE
BY DR. RAM SHARMA , MEERUT, INDIA
I have drank
The cup of love
Of thine
I have become mad
In the love of thine
I am part of thou
I have forgotten all
I have plunged in thou
Because
I am Thine
I am Thine
