Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
July 15, 1980.
You are ostracized because you are identifying with the body-mind and the memory that you are a body. Give up that identity, and that memory, and then whatever you see will be the truth. This is a very rare, a very precious opportunity, wherein you get this conflux of three entities: body, vital force and the touch of "I Amness", and with this alone you can reach right up to the Absolute - you can abide in the Absolute.
For you, the first step is worship that vital breath; here you must focus your attention on that vital breath pulsation - and together with that, carry out the naama-japa. When you do that, the vital breath will be purified, and in the process of purification this beingness will open up. Just reciting the name of God is concentrating the vital breath. The meaning of the mantra is that you are not the name or form.
