ADVTA- Awareness is not personal.

And neither are you -

because you are awareness alone.

Yes, you appear to be a person,

but come to see what you really are.

That's what self inquiry is.

Discern between

your unchanging self (awareness)

and everything that changes (all experiences, including the body and mind).

Let go of identifying with what you come to realize is a passing experience.

The person is a changeful experience,

seen.

What remains the same

while witnessing the person to change?

You are that.

Take attention there, to yourself.

Regardless of appearances,

Be as you are.

With you in practice, 

This is a beautiful, uncompromising summary of Atma Vichara (Self-Inquiry) as taught by sages like Ramana Maharshi and Nisargadatta Maharaj. It moves straight to the heart of Advaita Vedanta without any unnecessary fluff.

Here is the ultimate breakdown of the practice you just laid out:

The Great Equation of Identity

The root of all human suffering is a simple case of mistaken identity. The mind takes the properties of the Seen (the changing body, the anxious mind, the personal history) and superimposes them onto the Seer (Awareness).

When you say "I am stressed," Advaita steps in to correct the grammar of your existence:

• The stress is a changeful experience, seen.

• The person trying to fix the stress is a changeful experience, seen.

• You are the unchanging space in which both the stress and the person appear.

The Ultimate Discernment (Drig-Drishya-Viveka)

To follow the map you just drew, we ask the ultimate question: What remains the same?

The Changeful Experience (The Seen)	The Unchanging Reality (The Seer)
The physical body (aging, walking, sleeping)	The Light that illuminates the body
The "waking picture" and its rajasic colors	The Screen that remains pristine
The verbal narrative ("I am a person doing practice")	The Silence that hears the voice
The entire rollercoaster of thoughts	You
