"The meditation on the Self is so profound. It arises without object, and you yourself are that consciousness. So it is not similar to meditation where we select an object as a point of focus – such as the breath or a mantra, the body or the mind – because it arises within all things as all things, and anything that is selected is absorbed instantaneously into that ground... When all things arise within the Self as the Self, any objectification, however refined or subtle, ends up becoming a layer across which the Self is diffused or masked. The process of stopping the mind is the swiftest way to unveil those layers of consciousness, getting down to the deeper and deeper substrata."
