"The very first step in understanding what this is all about is giving up the concept of an active, volitional 'I' as a separate entity and accepting the passive role of perceiving and functioning as a process." - Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Awakening
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj:
No object has an independent existence of its own, and therefore an object cannot awaken itself from the living-dream, yet - and this is the joke - the phantom individual (an object) seeks some other object as the 'Absolute' or 'Reality' or whatever.
Liberation or awakening is nothing other than understanding profoundly, apperceiving that: (a) the seed of all manifestation is the impersonal consciousness; (b) what is being sought is the unmanifested aspect of manifestation; and therefore (c) the seeker himself is the sought!
