  "I (Awareness) am indeed Brahman and the
entire creation is nothing but an extension of
(super-imposition upon) chit (Brahman).  All
this (creation) has been projected by Me
(Awareness) alone through (the power of)
ignorance having the three-fold attributes
(of sattva, rajas and tamas).
  In this manner whose knowledge (conviction)
is firmly rooted in (Awareness) that is of
the nature of aananda, the eternal, the limitless,
the pure, he is indeed my guru, be he a chaNDaala
or a braahmaNa. (2)"

Note:  I just today realized my mistake in
ITRANS of .N which should be ~n wherever n has
a tilde ( ~ ) on top.
