Prior To Consciousness - Nirmala Devi Daily Inspiration

You must come to a firm decision.  You must forget the thought that
you are the body and be only the knowledge "I Am," which has no form,
no name.  Just be.  When you stabalize in that beingness it will give
all the knowledge and all the secrets to you, and when the secrets
are given to you, you trancend the beingness and you, the Absloute
will know that you are also not the consciousness.  Having gained
all this knowledge, having understood what is what, a kind of
quietude prevails, a tranquility.  Beingness is transcended, but
beingness is available.
