"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

Push, Recede

Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

July 15, 1980.


Q. I saw the article in the Mountain Path about Maharaj and I have come to ask his blessings.

M. Your spiritual acquisitions, everything is very good, but when you finally realize yourself you will come to the conclusion that all is useless, redundant, superfluous.

Q. That is why I am asking for Maharaj's blessings - to have that experience.


M. In that highest state there is no experience. Experience, experiencing and experiencer - everything is only one.

Q. Can Maharaj give a push to reach that state?

M. Somebody has already given a push to you and that is why you have come here. From the front you are pushed backward. Recede into the source.

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
