"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.

सर्वभूताधिवासं यद्भूतेषु च वसत्यपि।
सर्वानुग्राहकत्वेन तद्स्म्यहं वासुदेवः॥

That in whom reside all beings and who resides in all beings,
who is the giver of grace to all, the Supreme Soul of the universe, the limitless being:
I AM THAT. -- Amritabindu Upanishad
