That which truly exists is only ‘we’, the real Self or ‘I’ which shines forth spontaneously when the mind dies. Since this ‘we’ is the only true existence or reality, there cannot exist any consciousness other than it to know it, and hence it is itself the consciousness which knows itself. Therefore ‘we’, the reality (sat), are also consciousness (chit). In other words, our existence and the knowledge of our existence are not two different things, but are one and the same reality.

You declared: ‘Consciousness of reality and consciousness of the things around us do not exist apart from that reality.’ Praise be to you!‘ ~  Sri Muruganar  - ‘Upadesa Tiruvahaval’, 83-84

NUL - TEXT  

✨        

In the remaining eight verses of this work, Sri Bhagavan reveals more conclusions which will be useful in helping us to put Self-enquiry into practice, but which can be realized through direct experience only when we actually attend to ‘I’ and thereby realize its true nature.      

✨    

23.   Because of the non-existence of another consciousness to know that which exists, that which exists, the Reality or sat, is consciousness or chit. That consciousness itself is ‘we’, the real Self.

Note:

That which truly exists is only ‘we’, the real Self or ‘I’ which shines forth spontaneously when the mind dies.

Since this ‘we’ is the only true existence or reality, there cannot exist any consciousness other than it to know it, and hence it is itself the consciousness which knows itself. 

Therefore ‘we’, the reality (sat), are also consciousness (chit). In other words, our existence and the knowledge of our existence are not two different things, but are one and the same reality.

Só existe um Ser que pode conhecer a Realidade. Aquele Ser único é a própria Realidade e é ele mesmo Consciência.

~ Upadesa Saram - A Essência dos Ensinamentos, V. 23

⚜

Aquilo que realmente existe é apenas "nós", o verdadeiro SER ou "Eu" que brilha espontaneamente quando a mente morre. Uma vez que este "nós" é a única existência ou realidade verdadeira, não pode existir qualquer outra consciência além dela para a conhecer e, portanto, é a própria consciência que conhece a si mesma. Portanto, "nós", a realidade (sat), também somos consciência (chit). Em outras palavras, a nossa existência e o conhecimento da nossa existência não são duas coisas diferentes, mas são uma e a mesma realidade.
