Watch the "I Am"...

First of all, establish a constant contact with your self, be with yourself all the time. Into self-awareness all blessings flow.

Begin as a centre of observation, deliberate cognizance, and grow into a centre of love in action.

"I am" is a tiny seed which will grow into a mighty tree - quite naturally, without a trace of effort.

Just keep in mind the feeling "I am", merge in it, till your mind and feeling become one.

By repeated attempts, you will stumble on the right balance of attention and affection, and your mind will be firmly established in the thought-feeling "I am".

Whatever you think, say or do, this sense of immutable and affectionate being remains as the ever-present background of the mind.

Relax and watch the "I am".

Reality is just behind it.

Keep quiet, keep silent; it will emerge, or, rather, it will take you in.
