To Gangothri: 16

The most confidential of all the secrets was abridged and granted by Siva. That which is spoken as Self is non-self only; the mind (which speaks thus) is non-self also. The world too is non-self. Be certain that there is no non-self. -- Sri Siva Rahasyam
Be of the certitude of the absence of non-self by rendering naught all forms of thought, by forsaking all forms and by the conviction that Brahman alone is. -- Sri Siva Rahasyam
By the non-cognition of the mind, there is nothing to be thought of; by the non-cognition of the body aging is not. With the knowledge that Brahman alone is, be of the certitude that there is no non-self.-- Sri Siva Rahasyam
By the non-thinking of feet there is no motion and by that of hands action there is none. With the knowledge that Brahman alone is, be of the certitude that there is no non-self.-- Sri Siva Rahasyam

In the absence of Brahman there is no world; by the absence of that (world) there is no Hari. As Brahman alone is, be of the certitude that there is no non-self.-- Sri Siva Rahasyam

To Gangotri:13

Protect me O Lord, with eye on the forehead; who punished Daksha in the fire-sacrifice; who has the great bull gleaming white for mount; who grants the imperishable fruit of knowledge; who is with sacred ashes smeared all over the body and wearing rudraksha garlands and venomous snakes on the spacious chest; who has the dire poison for food; whose lotus feet are worshipped by holy mendicants.

To Gangotri:12

The state of consciousness called prajnanam of the sushupti (deep sleep) state is no other than Siva.

To Gangotri:11

Bliss has its origin in Siva, the Self, whether one is aware or not of te dictum - 'Self alone is worth knowing'. But unalloyed and unlimited bliss is the fruit of penance and no other.

The Light that lights the world is subtler still than the subtle mahat, the expanded consciousness.

To Gangotri:10

The Vedas, which are the exhalation of the Omniscient Siva, were received by the inhalation of the four-faced creator Brahma. Hence there can be no room for dialogue, argument, controversy and dispute. The supreme causeless cause is Maheswara - The Over Lord.

The Upanishads reveal that Parama Siva, the consort of Uma Devi, is the Lord of gods. His Being is the basis of existence of one and all. He is the One acclaimed by the Vedas, as the state of non-dual bliss transcending the pentad of sheaths, viz annamaya (food), manaomaya (mind), pranamaya (vital air) , vijnanamaya (intellect) and anandamaya (bliss).
