Jagad Guru: That I don't need to conclude that because there is no material self, therefore there is no self. I can conclude instead, I can have my conclusion based upon number one, the reality that I know I exist. I know I exist and this is the fundamental reality that I can never give up. I know I exist, my self-awareness. Therefore, instead of giving up my self-awareness, I give up the materialist worldview which cannot explain my selfawareness.

Something that's recently come up, we'll go into it more in depth in another show but just... I just want to mention it now, and that is that they've recently discovered, scientists have recently discovered that certain people don't have brains. Quite a few people don't have any brains. Their cranium is actually filled with spinal fluid and these people have very good grades in school and you know are straight A students in college, some of them, okay. Now these people know that they exist. They don't even have a brain, okay? But they exist.

This second mantra of the yogic scripture Sri Ishopanishad refers to karma yoga, or devotional service:
A person may desire to live for hundreds of years if he works according to this truth because that sort of work will not bind him to the law of karma.

The impersonalist “I am God”ist Swami Muktananda advised his students:
Meditate on your Self. Honor and worship your own Self. Kneel to your Self, because the supreme reality, the highest truth lives within you as you.*

Why does a person claim ownership of a thing or of another person? To control it or them. And why does he want to control it? Usually because he wants to be the enjoyer of it.
