"My nature is light, Nothing but light.
When the world arises I alone am shining.
When the world arises in me,
It is just an illusion:
Water shimmering in the sun,
A vein of silver in mother-of-pearl, 
A serpent in a strand of rope."

Inspired by these verses from the Ashtavakra Gita, Swami Sarvapriyananda speaks on the nature of the Self.
