Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
May 4, 1980.
The truth is total Brahman only, nothing else but Brahman. In a total Brahman state the touch of beingness, "I am", and with that, separation has started, otherness has come. But this "I Amness" is not just a small principle, that itself is the mula-maya, the primary illusion. What I am expounding is not meant for the common people, because they have not reached the stature to understand what I am saying. Therefore I tell them to do bhajans, japa, meditation. After doing that, when the purifying takes place, they will be worthy enough to receive my talks.
If you want to remember this visit, if you have love for me, remember this "I Am" principle and without the command or direction of this principle, do nothing.
In the world today there are so many people and they are so busy with their affairs that they don't have time to eat - they stand and eat. These are characteristics of maya. The great maya principle is making you do all her tricks, and you are also abiding in what she says, and finally, that light of yours, that beingness, gets extinguished.
If you are not, can others be there? Is this not good enough for you?
