Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
July 26, 1980.
Q. I realize that anything I say is a concept arising out of my consciousness.
That you are, and the world is, are both concepts. You must know that.
The mind interprets whatever the concept is, the base is consciousness on which concepts arises at the moment.
All this conceptualizing, all this articulation, has been taking place only after the original concept arose that you are. What was the position before this concept arose? At that time did you have any concepts, any needs?
Q. Like deep sleep?
This concept that it is like deep sleep is not incorrect, but it is still a concept, and the original state is beyond concepts.
Q. What is the fact now?
That you are awake is itself a concept now. Let this sink in.
