Mandukya: I am the unaffected, unchanging, ever-present, never-absent consciousness. According to Mandukya, the entire universe which is experienced, it exists only in the consciousness. It has no existence apart from that consciousness,. What I call my life. Step one. Step two is all those things I said are not me, world, body, mind, are actually in me. That's the difficulty step to take. They arise in me, the consciousness. They exist in me and shine in me; they disappear back into me.
