From the four Vedas, our ancients have

picked up four very special statements

(Mahavakhyas) and taught their meaning
to us. These four are Prajnanam Brahma,
Ayam Atma Brahma, Tat Tvam Asi and
Aham Brahmasmi.These statements
imply that Brahman (Divine) is
synonymous to Prajnana (Knowledge),
and that the Atma (Soul) is Brahman, and
that Brahman is yourself. In these we will
be able to see that in the dissolved state
everything is one and the same. In this
state of dissolution all bad and good,
things that are attractive and things that
are not attractive, appear as one and the
same. All things look as if they are one
and the same. The difference between
names and forms is not distinguishable.
In this state one can only experience
bliss. Simply because one does not
perceive light within, the individual
should not say that there is no Brahman
within. In everyone this capacity to shine
is present as Prajnana. (Summer Showers
