The Consciousness that which is very clearly evident and shines in all beings in the wakeful, dream and also in the deep sleep states is embedded in all living bodies starting from Brahm! (the creator) up to the ant, which is the witness (for), all worldly activities, that Consciousness is alone me (That I am) and I am not anything that is experienced. Thus, whoever so has this firm understanding all the time, whether he is a downtrodden (outcaste) c!@?!la or is a learned Brahmin, he is as adorable as my teacher, this is my firm conviction.
