"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

The power responsible for creation


Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj:

The power is the Self which each one has in his beingness - that power is time-bound. From the time that beingness comes it creates automatically until that beingness disappears. Earlier there was nothing - after there is nothing. It is only during the duration of the beingness that the world and creation is. This power is the faith in the primordial concept "I Am", and that is the concept which weaves the web of creation. The entire manifestation is an appearance in this concept.

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
