The I always brings subjectivity with it.
It is this ultimate subjective principle I divested of even that subjectivity that is the goal.
Consciousness and happiness may possibly have a taint of objectivity in their conception, since they always express themselves in the realm of the mind.
When one is deeply convinced that one's self is consciousness and happiness, one finds it as the nameless.
Whereupon even this namelessness seems a limitation.
Giving up that as well, one remains as the I principle, the Absolute.
When you try to visualize the absolute in you, nothing can possibly disturb you because every thought or perception points to yourself and only helps you to stand established as the absolute.
To become a sage means to become aware of what you are already.
In all your life,
you feel you have not changed.
And of all your manifold activities from your birth onwards, the only activity that has never changed is knowing.
So both these must necessarily be one and the same.
And therefore, knowingness is your real nature.
Thus, knowing is never an activity in the worldly sense.
since this knowing has neither a beginning nor an end.
And because it is never separated from you, it is your real nature.
Just as shining is the real nature of the sun and not its function,
Understanding it in this way and realizing it as one's true nature brings about liberation from all bondage.
When you reach consciousness or happiness, you lose all sense of objectivity or duality and stand identified with the ultimate subjective I principle or the absolute.
Then the subjectivity also vanishes.
