There is no individual self which functions through the mind and body. The "I" that imagines it is doing this or that is a mental fiction.
The principal misperception is the idea that the Self is limited to the body and the mind. As soon as one ceases to imagine that one is an individual person, inhabiting a particular body, the whole superstructure of wrong ideas collapses and is replaced by a conscious and permanent awareness of the real Self.

The Eternal Light
"Know and always hold onto the Self.
Disregard the body and the mind.
To identify with them is misery.
Dive deep into the Heart,
the source of being and peace,
and establish yourself there."

Bhagavan is the awareness
Why despair ? Know with certainty by enquiry, that I myself am present as your "I".

My Bhagavan
Believe nothing because a wise man said it;
Believe nothing because it is generally held;
Believe nothing because it is written;
Believe nothing because it is said to be divine;
Believe nothing because somebody else believes it;
Believe only what you yourself judge to be true
- Gautam Buddha
