"From where does this "I" arise? Seek for it within; it then vanishes. This is the pursuit of wisdom.

"It is enough that one surrenders oneself. Surrender is giving oneself up to the original cause of one's being. Do not delude yourself by imagining this source to be some God outside you. One's source is within oneself. Give yourself up to it. That means that you should seek the source and merge in it."
