There is nothing but Conciousness

'' There can indeed be nothing but conciousness.
Tell me of any place where there is no conciousness;
there is no place beyond conciousness.
Or can any one prove in any manner anything outside of conciousness?
Conciousness is inescapable.
Moreover, this conciousness is the only existence, covering the whole universe,
and perfect all through.
Just as there cannot be breakers apart from the ocean and light without the Sun, so also
the Universe cannot be conceived without conciousness.
The Supreme God is thus the embodiment of pure Conciousness.
This whole universe consisting of the mobile and the immobile, arises from, abides in,
and resolves into Him.
This is the final and well-known conclusion of the Scriptures; ''
