in reality there is only the source

 

.

I am not my body, nor do I need it. I am the witness only. 

I have no shape of my own. 

.

You are so accustomed to think of yourself as bodies having consciousness that you just cannot imagine consciousness as having bodies. 

Once you realize that bodily existence is but a state of mind, a movement in consciousness, that the ocean of consciousness is infinite and eternal, and that, when in touch with consciousness, you are the witness only, you will be able to withdraw beyond consciousness altogether.

You are not the body. 
You are the immensity and infinity of consciousness.

.

In reality there is only the source, dark in itself,
making everything shine.  

Unperceived, it causes perception.
Unfelt, it causes feeling.
Unthinkable, it causes thought.
Non-being, it gives birth to being. 

It is the immovable background of motion. 

Once you are there, you are at home everywhere.
