"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

Incarnations!


Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj:

This will be clear to you when you remain in your real position. Until then, accept it if you like. Until you know your true state you will accept all these hearsays because you don't know the truth.

You need not go to that prior state. Presently, what you are - this primary concept - thrash it out. When you thrash it out, what you are prior to that concept is open. Normally, a jnani will not explain in such detail to a seeker.

You have thoroughly studied the teachings of Ramana Maharshi. In his teachings did you come across this aspect? Have you understood Ramana Maharshi?

(I can ne'er understand because he is the Absolute.)

Yes. Ramana Maharshi is the Absolute, you are also That. The Absolute cannot be caught in the domain of your experience.

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
