"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

Trying to understand the Absolute
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj:
Understand beingness and all will be solved. It is all your speculation about that Absolute state from your grosser state. Presently it is like a signboard indicative of the Parabrahman. The word Parabrahman is not Parabrahman.
Your habit is to ask questions. A few words are flung at you, some concepts are given to you, and you say that you understand.
The only theme of my talks is you - you know that you are. How and why do you know you are? It is only about that which I talk.
You have no authority over this consciousness, it has come by itself and it will go by itself. You can't do anything with it.
