Points touched upon
- Verse 2: the thought ‘I am this body’ as the one thread on which all other thoughts are strung.
- Going within to investigate where we spread out from, with Ulladu Narpadu verse 25 on ego rising by grasping other things and subsiding by attending to itself.
- Atma-jnana shining as ‘I am I’, and why ‘I am I’, not ‘I am brahman’, is both the final and the most practical teaching.
- Vichara Sangraham 1.1 on the fresh clarity (sphurippu) of ‘I am I’, and Nan Ar? paragraph 5 on dropping even the thought ‘I, I’.
- Sphurana subsiding once ‘I am I’ is seen to be natural (sahaja), and ‘tane tan’, oneself alone being oneself.
- Atma-jnana as sat-cit-ananda: silence, the one space and the abode of happiness.
