“In the Indian tradition some Mantra
are known as Mahāvakya or great sayings.
They express and re-mind us, in both
a mystical and poetical way, of the
presence of the eternal Awareness
within the everyday flux of existence.

Either, the Sādhana path of Jñana Dhyānam
or, the Sādhana path of Bhakti Dhyānam.

Tat Tvam Asi ॥
