OM NAMAH SIVAYA
SAT Temple
January.February.March.2016
In commencing an inquiry to know the Self, even if it first appears to the spiritual aspirant that there is nothing in his experience other than what constitutes the five sheaths, from the causal through the intellectual and mental to the prana and the body, there still exists one who is the knower, or experiencer, of these. All of the sheaths are objective to the Self, the innermost Consciousness. All of these are not one’s actual Existence. The knower can never be a known or unknown object. The knower, the Self, is ever-existent and, being nonobjective, can only be formless without the least trace of any of the attributes of the known. – Nome, from the introduction to Svatmanirupanam, The True Definition of One’s Own Self
