Certainly! Here are distilled bullet-point quotes from Atma Darshan and Atma Nirvriti, the seminal works of Advaita sage Atmananda Krishna Menon:

---

🧘‍♂️ Atma Darshan (At the Ultimate)

• "I am pure consciousness which knows no dissolution."

• "The substratum of all is one and the same. Diversity is only of things perceived."

• "Nothing exists independently of Consciousness… What is really existing is Consciousness alone."

• "When Consciousness begins to receive due attention, it becomes revealed in objects, as well and they themselves will in due course become transformed into Consciousness."

• "There is nothing outside: all is within. What is within is Myself, and therefore the experiencer and the experience are one and the same, that is Myself."

• "How can thoughts which rise and set in Me, be other than Myself? Thought is nothing but Consciousness and Consciousness is My Being."

• "When water is realised, wave and sea vanish. What appeared as two is thus realised as one."

• "He, whose mind is captivated by the beauty of a figure sculpted in a piece of rock, forgets even the fact of the rock being its background."

• "For the sage, his stand is that he is pure consciousness… He knows well that consciousness is self-luminous and that it is consciousness that illumines the entire world."

🌿 Atma Nirvriti (Freedom and Felicity in the Self)

• "Experience proves that the objective world will always appear in perfect tune with the stand taken up by the subject."

• "Body, sense-organs, mind, will and intellect come under the category of objects… Form can exist only as the object of seeing and never independently of it."

• "Objects of Consciousness can never be separated from Consciousness itself. They have no independent existence."

• "Consciousness becomes dimmed chiefly through one’s captivation and abiding interest in external objects."

• "The embodied ‘I’ was witnessed by another ‘I’ principle at the time of this perception, action or enjoyment."

• "Knowledge objectified is thought. Then the ‘I’ remains as the witness of thought."

• "I alone shine as the undisturbed peace and happiness. I am the inmost principle which is Sat-Chit-Ananda itself."

• "I am no doer, I am no enjoyer. I am pure consciousness which knows no dissolution."

• "The non-doer-Consciousness is always ‘enjoying’ Itself."
