#self-shining

⚜

The mere consciousness of one’s own existence, ‘I am’, which is devoid both of the feeling ‘I know’ and of the feeling ‘I do not know’, alone is true knowledge.

⚜

‘That which is completely devoid of knowledge and ignorance [about objects], is true Knowledge. That which knows [anything other than itself] is not true knowledge. Since Self shines without another for it to know or to make it known, it is true knowledge; it is not a void [though devoid of both knowledge and ignorance about objects]. Know thus.’ ~ Ulladu Narpadu-Reality In Forty Verses, V. 12
