Sublime

The spiritual teacher Nisargadatta Maharaj made this beautiful statement: “Wisdom says I am nothing. Love says I am everything. Between the two my life flows.”

Kena Upanishad: “Brahman is unknown to those who know It, and is known to those who do not know It at all.” This knowing of Reality by unknowing is the psychological state of the man whose ego is no longer split or dissociated from its experiences, who no longer feels himself as an isolated embodiment of logic and consciousness, separate from the “

If it is investigated in this way, ego will disappear, ceasing to exist, and what will then be experienced is not a place on the right side of the chest in the body but only ātman (our real nature) – which is devoid of the body, devoid of inside and outside, devoid of right and left, and devoid of the constraints of time and place.

‘What actually exists is only ātma-svarūpa [the real nature of oneself]’. What he implies by this is that nothing other than ourself actually exists, so all other things are just an illusory appearance.

The feet of guru are that which is always shining within you as “I am I”. Grasp that’.

Don’t stop at the feeling of “I am.” Know, I know that I am. Then everything is equally known and what is important is the knowing, not any of the particular objects. We have all been conditioned to think this sensation of a body-mind is the most important and special thing, and it is separate from everything else.

Nisargadatta would tell you (speaking to your idea of ‘me’) to expand and embrace the universe. Recognize it is already appearing in that (your) presence. The universe is in you.

What is conduct, what is the highest truth, what is joy and what is sorrow, I am forever beyond analysis.
