Sri Atmananda Krishna Menon

and it is you.

That which disappears is always unreal.

That which does not disappear is reality alone.

The sense of I doesn't disappear.

at any moment in life.

Your thoughts come and go.

Everything you see comes and goes.

The things you do come and go as well.

All of these things are limited by time

and space but the true reality is that which does not disappear and that is the sense of I

The yogi would say that when the body suffers, the mind doesn't.

But for someone who's interested in the true reality, they say that both the mind and body suffers.

But the true reality, which is what I am,

never suffers.

When you're a witness, you're not witnessing, you're not doing.

But if you can be a witness

then you're looking at suffering with wisdom as a witness you're not a doer you are simply the background

It's in this background that the doer and the doing comes and goes.

So if there is a doer and doing and there was the deed

All of this appears in the background and vanishes into the background.
