(Who this teaching is for and the destruction it promises)
Who is this book for? This book is not for intellectuals. This book is not for the faint of heart. This book is not for those who want to dream a better dream. This book is not for those who want to solve their mundane problems. This book is not for those still investing in their personality. This book is for those who are ready for the Absolute Truth. This book is for those who are ready to go beyond the mind. This book is for those who are ready to go beyond life. This book is for those who are ready to go beyond themselves. This book is for those who are ready to go beyond Shiva.
A teacher will teach you. A master will awake you. I will destroy you. 2. The truth destroys. Destroys the lie forever. The lie that never existed. 3. Because I am Shiva. I am the Auspicious One. I am the Truth.
(Beyond I, me, and the illusion of individuality)
- I am not bound, nor am I liberated. I am not enlightened, nor am I ignorant. ‘I’, I am not. There is no ‘I’ in Me. There is no ‘me’ in I. No ‘I’ has ever come to Me. No ‘I’ has ever presented itself to Me.
No ‘I’ have I ever seen. No ‘other’ have I ever seen. ‘I’ implies ‘other’. ‘Other’ implies ‘I’. There are no ‘I’ and no ‘other’ in Me. There is even no ‘me’ in Me. There is even no ‘I’ in I. I am beyond ‘I’, ‘me’ and ‘other’. I am beyond concepts and experiences. I am beyond beyond-ness.
There are no ‘I’ and no ‘other’ in Me. There is even no ‘me’ in Me. There is even no ‘I’ in I. I am beyond ‘I’, ‘me’ and ‘other’. I am beyond concepts and experiences. I am beyond beyond-ness.

Liberation is a play in the illusion of bondage. Liberation is created by bondage. Remove the one who has to get liberated and there is no bondage. Moksha, Salvation, Nirvana, Liberation, Self-Realization, Sat-Chit-Ananda, Freedom, Jnana, Enlightenment, Manonasa, and so on, are only concepts. What do they mean to you? They have significance because you believe you are bound. They have significance because you believe you are ignorant. Remove the one who believes. Remove that ‘I’ and you will truly see.
-
Feel your sense of existence. Feel your ‘I am’. Feel your ‘I exist’. Feel the source of your ‘I’. They are all false. But so are you. A false you, staying in the illusory sense of being, getting illusory liberation from a false illusion.
-
Then you will forget. Then you won’t remember. Then you won’t be you. You will know that you never needed to get liberated because you were never bound. But this is not entirely true. You will not even know that you never needed to get liberated from an illusion. You will not know anything. Not knowing anything is not ignorance. It is the supreme blissful wisdomless wisdom. You-less you. That which remains.
(The non-existence of world, mind, and self)
You don’t exist. The others don’t exist. The world doesn’t exist. The universe doesn’t exist. Nor even I exist. I am a product of your mind. Your mind can’t conceive Me, for the limitless cannot be understood by the limited; the infinite cannot be understood by the finite. The mind will always conceptualize the conceptless and superimpose the illusion of ‘I’ on the I-less illusionless.
In deep sleep you don’t exist. In deep sleep others don’t exist. In deep sleep the world doesn’t exist. In deep sleep the universe doesn’t exist. In deep sleep the ‘I’ you believe I am doesn’t exist.
Yet something is aware that there was nothing during deep dreamless sleep.
- There is no witness during deep sleep. There is knowledge of the witnessing of deep sleep in the waking state. The witness of deep sleep is, therefore, knowledge of the mind. The witness of deep sleep is, therefore, a creation of the mind. It is the mind trying to conceive the Absolute.
The mind distorts deep sleep into a dual state by creating the illusory knowledge of a witness of the absence of everything. The mind is a big liar. There is no end to the mind’s questions and problems.
The ‘causal body’ is nothing but a delusion created by the mind.
-
This mind is nothing but an erroneous and impure awareness of who you are. Because of this mind, you think ‘I am x-y-z’. Remove the ‘x-y-z’ and stay exclusively on the ‘I am’. Stay as ‘I am’. Dwell as ‘I am’. Be as I am. Put some light on this darkness of ignorance. Let the light on, all the time. The light is now never turned off. Actually, there was never darkness. The light was never off, it just appeared to be.
-
Stay with the ‘I am’ until there is no more ‘I’ to be. Then, and only then, will you truly exist. But not you who you take yourself to be. You-less you. Existence beyond the concept of existence. Beyond existence. Beyond beyond-ness.
(Mind as the source of all creation and Maya)
-
Isn’t everything the mind? When you wake up in the morning, the world appears. When you go out sleep at night, the world disappears. 8. Isn’t this your experience? Why do you say ‘everything is One’? ‘Everything is One’ is true in the sense that everything is the mind. When the mind rises, everything rises. When the mind subsides, everything subsides.
-

-
I stay eternally untouched by that. I am not even aware of such fluctuations. Everything comes from the mind. The mind is the true substance of all things.
-
I am beyond the mind. I am beyond everything. There are no ‘things’ in Me. There is no ‘All’ in Me. There is no ‘One’ in Me. I am beyond multiplicity or unicity. That is all mind. That is all Maya.
-
I stay timelessly in peace beyond peace. I stay timelessly in love beyond love. I stay timelessly in bliss beyond bliss. I stay timelessly in silence beyond silence. I stay timelessly in timelessness beyond timelessness. I stay timelessly in beyond-ness beyond beyond-ness.
(No-mind, pure light, and the dreamer who is still dreaming)
-
No mind means no creation. No mind doesn’t mean the voice in your head stopped. No mind doesn’t mean thoughtlessness. No mind doesn’t mean ‘impersonal presence’. No mind means inconceivable and unqualified non-dual bliss alone. Bliss beyond bliss.
-
Creation is a product of the mind. The pure mind says she just borrowed My light. The pure mind is like the Sun’s reflection on the Moon. The Moon has no light of its own. Only the Sun is luminous.
The one who is lucid is still dreaming. They are happy. They know emotions come and go.
Brahman Name used in Sanātana Dharma (Hinduism) for awareness, the Self or the ultimate reality, while for others, it might represent Ishvara instead, God with form, the totality of mind or the ruler of the universe.
Deep Sleep The state of deep dreamless sleep where nothing is experienced as there is neither subject nor object.
