Acharya Sankara's Viveka Chudamani(Crest Jewel of Wisdom):

Viveka Chudamani:Continuous  Attention   To Self((384-397)

• By   fixing   the  purified  inner   equipment  upon the  Self  which  is   thw Witness  and Knowledge  Absolute,and  little  by  littlemakingit quiet,onemust try   to  realise  one's  infinite  Self(384)
• Free from all limitations like the  body,sense-organs,Pranas,mind  andego,which   are    the  projections  of one's   ignorance , let one   come   to  realise  the  Atman,  the Indivisible and Infinite, like the great  endless sky(385)
• The  Self  is Brahma, the  Self   is   Vishnu, the  Self   is  Indra,  the  Self   is Siva,  the  Self   is   the  entire  universe. Indeed,  nothing  exists except   the  Self(389)
• The Self is within,the Self  is without,the Self is in front,the Self is behind,the Self is to the South,the Self is   to  the North; so too,It is above and below(390)
• Like  the sky, the  Supreme  Brahman  is  untainted absolute,  limitless,motionlessand   without modifications;  It   has  neither  an  inside nor  an  outside.  It   is  One  Existence  and  Non-dual  and  is  one's   own  Self Is   there  any  other  " thing   to be  known"/(394)
• The jeeva is nothing but Brahman, the   whole expanse of this universe is nothing but Brahman.Sruti points out Brahman as  being non-dual,and  it is an  undeniable fact that those who are enlightened,who have  established  their identity  with Brahman and who have given  up  their associations   with the outside world, live ever in  union  with Brahman, Eternal Knowledge and Bliss(395)
• Annihilatethe hopes  raisedby  the ego in  the gross body,a bundle of filth,then,with force, do the same with the air-like subtle body. Realising Brahman, the personification of eternal  Bliss,which  the scriptures eulogise-- as your own  Self, live as Brahman(396)
