The one real consciousness [chinmaya] that exists as the base for the rising of the many unreal selves [egos] and for [their] suffering, without itself suffering due to the miseries produced by the mind, which exists without performing the two karmas [good and bad], alone is Self.
Guru Vachaka Kovai (The Garland of Guru’s Sayings) by Sri Muruganar, Ch. The Nature of Self - Verse 1044
