"This is the conclusion of all scriptures: there is no avidya (ignorance) and no maya (illusion) in reality; Brahman alone exists. Some call it the void, others pure consciousness, others the Lord; and they argue about it amongst themselves. Abandon all these notions. Rest in nirvana without movement of thought, with the mind greatly 'weakened' and the intelligence at peace; rest in the Self as if you are deaf, dumb and blind. Inwardly abandon everything. Externally [active in the world] engage yourself in appropriate action. The existence of the mind alone is happiness, the existence of the mind alone is unhappiness. By remaining unaware of the mind let all these cease. Remain unaffected by what is attractive and what is unattractive; by just this much self-effort, this samsara is overcome....You are that subtle and pure consciousness which is indivisible , free from ideation but which encompasses all beings." - Vasistha's Yoga
