Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
July 19, 1980.
The very base is that you don't know you are, and suddenly the feeling of "I Amness" appears. The moment it appears you see space, mental space; that subtle, sky-like space, stabilize you there. You are that. When you are able to stabilize in that state, you are the space only.
When that space-like "I Am" goes into oblivion, that is the eternal state, nirguna, no form, no beingness.
Does Maharaj go into samAdhi?
I am established in the Highest. There is no going into samAdhi, or coming down from samAdhi; that is over.
Should we continue our meditation?
It doesn't mean this is an excuse for you to give up meditation, you must persist in meditation until you come to a stage when you feel there is no meditation. When the purpose of meditation is gained it will drop off naturally.
Which is the way to the Supreme state?
There is no question of going into that state. You are the supreme state, but whatever ignorance you have will drop off.
