The truth taught by -principle
The image is you, but you are not the image. The - principle explains this by the following example. For instance, if someone beats you, you are hit, but the image is not affected by the beating. This demonstrates the fact that you are affected by the beating. If you and the image were identical, the blow that hit you should affect the image equally. Therefore, it is clear you are not the same as your image. But the image identifies itself with you. For instance, if someone insults the image, you get angry. But if you are hit, the image does not suffer any blow. This is the truth taught by the -principle. Awareness of this Truth is more significant than all other truths ().

Understand the basic truth about the "I" () - the -principle - and derive the maximum benefit. Apart from , there are in man entities like the body, the mind, the intellect, the will and the ego. All these appear to be distinct and disparate. But essentially they are one. It is the functional differences of the mind which account for the different terms like intellect, will, etc. It is the same mind that assumes all the forms. (Constant Integrated Awareness) is present in all of them.
