QUOTATION OF THE DAY
I alone am, I have attained perfection, I am pure, I am the supreme, I remain always, I am He, I am eternal, I am pure. I am the true knowledge (Vijnana), I am the special one, I am Soma, I am the all. I am the auspicious one, I am free from sorrow, I am consciousness, I am the impartial one. I am joy (to the devoted) and sorrow (to the careless), I am the friend of all silence. I am always of the form of consciousness and I am always of the form of Existence and Consciousness. MAITREYA UPANISHAD ( SAMA VEDA)
