The polishing cloth...

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.
