At dawn do I meditate on that which shines in the heart as the Self, the truth, that which is existence-intelligence-happiness, that which is the goal of the great sages, that which is the transcendent reality. I am that eternal Brahman which is blemishless and which knows the three states of dream, waking, and sleep, and not the aggregate of elements. —Shankara
