- Sleep showing we cannot be anything we were unaware of then, and the need to know ourself first, which no attention to other things can give.
- Ulladu Narpadu verses 4 and 9 to 14, on forms appearing only to ego, the triad of knower, knowing and known, and knowledge and ignorance ending when we know ourself.
- Unrealising the unreal rather than realising the real, and Upadesa Undiyar verse 27 on real awareness being free of both knowledge and ignorance of other things.
